What is the top speed of 115 horsepower?
1 Answers
Horsepower or power (115 horsepower equals 84.5KW) is just a power parameter and does not correspond to the engine model. If the engine technology is advanced, 1.5 or 1.6 liters can achieve this, while for older technology, even 2.0 liters might not reach such power. Here is some related information about automotive horsepower: 1. Metric horsepower: Metric horsepower, also known as PS, is entirely man-made and set to a value very close to imperial horsepower. It is defined as the power required to lift 75 kilograms one meter in one second. That is: 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force·meters/second = 735 watts. 2. Imperial horsepower: The concept of horsepower as a unit was named by James Watt, the improver of the steam engine, to compare the power of his steam engine to that of a horse's pulling force. It is defined as 'the power of a horse capable of lifting 33,000 pounds one foot in one minute,' with watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) used as the standard units.
