nOOb question - what is the rating for horsepower for the Japanese cars? I see 440ps. What is the translation for that? I assume it is a metric measurement.

1ps = 0.9hp so every 10ps, they lose 1hp so taniguchis car would be 396hp

Thanks! That helps make sense of a lot!

Not quite, 1ps = .986hp. Seems like a small difference between .9 and .986 until you do the math. Better answer is 434hp, or in other words, hp and ps are nearly idenicle.

I hear people say they're practically idenctical all the time but what I want to know is what it is, like where it came from?

One is metric and one is standard. One is based on the power a horse was putting out. And the other is from Toruqe (Metric) x RPM...

Yeah, it's basically metric hp, and "ps" is an abreviated german word. BTW, ever hear of google, solves most problems in seconds.

[rb20]

Good point- I bet 10 minutes of my time on google wouldve saved my countless hours of wondering

[andylaurel]

PS stands for PowerStrokes

[Shin_Kudou]

Or, IIRC, Pfiderschtarke. (Spelling is probably waaaay off) I believe I've seen german cars using PS.

It really isn't that big of a difference, as has been said. The most common example is the usual "gentlemen's agreement" number, 280PS, which comes out to 276HP.
