btw, 210 PS (Metric HP) -> 207.12 HP

210 ps = 210 hp, it's the same thing but more often used in europe and japan. not quite sure what t stands for exactly.

Lynn

1 pferdestärkenstunde = 1 DIN hp = 0.98632 SAE horsepower

DIN is the German Institute for Standardization, and SAE stands for Society of American Engineers.

Altavista translates "pferdestärkenstunde" as "horsepower-grants".

thanks all........

i was thinking of getting an IS back in my home country..they dont have the 300..but have a Altezza RS200 tuned by BEAMS which offered 210 ps..which is about 215 hp i believe...

since the IS300 here also offered 215 hp...i am thinking about it..but...i wished i could get a 300 and import all the parts back there....

210 ps = 210 DIN hp = 207 US hp

so, lynn, this has been bugging me for a while: how is 1 DIN hp different from 1 SAE hp? i mean i know there's a conversion factor, but why?

Lynn

Maybe the German horses are slightly smaller than US horses. Seriously, I don't know why there is a difference. Throughout history various kingdoms and countries have set standards to meet the king's physical size, local cultural and political requirements or just to satisfy the king's, politicians' or populations egos.

Did you know that there are three different legal lengths for the "foot" in the US? There is the US standard foot, the survey foot and the International foot.

yeah, i know of the foot differences, but i prefer to use cubits

but any case, i did a little research and it turns out that a DIN hp uses correction for atmosphere and barometric pressure only, while SAE hp applies a correction factor for humidity as well. i'm guessing that correction factor is the reason for the minute difference.

I Suggest to use this unit converter to get quick and accurate measurement conversion.
