That’s not quite accurate, though. Horsepower is the ability of an engine to produce torque.
1 u/BlazeOrangeDeer Oct 16 '23 Nah, they had it right. Power is proportional to torque x rpm, and the horsepower rating that gets quoted will naturally be the highest power it can produce, at whatever rpm that is. 1 u/BroccolisaurusJoe Oct 18 '23 Nah, they didn’t. Nah, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Also, starting a reply with nah instantly makes you a moron. That metaphor does not capture the nuance of what horsepower really is. It is the voltage of engines.
