With the talk about the engines configurations and with the twin turbo engine explained there has been a lot of questions to the host and one of them was what is horsepower? Well we you are talking about an engine there has to be a number of the horsepower that it is able to place out and it has a direct connection with the acceleration too. But why the horsepower matters so much to the acceleration? All the gearheads out there are going to know this answer as soon as they read the question, but this is for all the other people that are not too familiar with the mechanics involved in the engine.

When you are going to buy a new car the first question that comes into the mind is what is horsepower rating on the engine? How much power does it has? And then you will come to the next one about the acceleration. The host is willing here to answer this question using math as a solution and he is being pretty clear about it.

It comes to this, this is all that you need to remember, the more horsepower from the engine the FASTER the acceleration on your car is. As seen on the twin turbo diesel Cummins engines before which got more than 700 HP the acceleration that is done is just amazing. It is going to stick you to the seat without air in your lungs. If you want that kind of feeling out of your car, then consider replacing the engine, boosting it up or even changing the whole car because it doesn’t have the strength any more.

We bet that you are not going to write down the numbers on what is horsepower and how to calculate it, or to calculate the acceleration but it is good to know them.
