Kilowatt power vs horsepower

Post by carrera »

I notice alot more that KW is showing up more and more.
In f1 a car that has 672 KW's of power translates to 901 BHP.
This is more for the americans I think as they us HP only.
KW=HP(BHP)x.7457 whereas HP=KWx1.341.
I am using the v8 Honda 2006 in f1champions 1.06 as a reference.
May make this a little less confusing comprende?
carrera 8) 8) 8)

I think us europeans are just as bad in this aspect Carrera.
I myself use HP all the time. And I like to think I am Mr "follow the bloody standards!" ;)
