What does CC and horsepower actually mean in cars?
In: Engineering
Originally horse power was derived from how much of a field a draught horse could plough in an hour, they would then see how much the tractor could plough. It was a highly inaccurate measurement. This is the reason most of the world changed to kilowatts, which is a measurement of energy. Both refer to how fast an engine can apply it’s torque in the automotive sense tho.
