What's the difference between PS and RWHP?
Ok, so i keep looking through my hyper rev RX7 magazines and I see all these RX7's making monster power but they're all rated in "PS" can anyone give me an approximation how PS is converted into horsepower? It's kinda annoying how everything is rated differently everywhere.

or PS x 0.98629 = HP
Horsepower is the standard set by the Society of Automobile Engineers, which is also called SAE horsepower.
Like eViLRotor said, PS is short for the German word Pferdestarke, it is the term used for metric horsepower, also known as DIN horsepower. DIN is short for Deutsche Industrie Normen which simply translates to "German industrial standard".

PS is usually measured with the engine installed in the chasis and with accessories. So it is not really perfectly acurate when really trying to convert it with a forumula.
BHP or brake horsepower is measured when the engine is not connected to the chassis or any accessories attached to the engine. Or sometimes called the flywheel horsepower.
