I think the point was that horsepower is widely understandable and preferred in Europe as a unit of an engine power, despite otherwise using the SI units.

- chronogram 5y agoHorsepower is different though, you have imperial horsepower and metric horsepower (and many more). Both are not the same and neither is a round 750 watts. For the last years I’ve mostly seen watts being used in NL, but it’s been ages since I saw a fast and furious movie or a top gear show. The car sellers use kW and often also, I assume metric, horsepower.
