Is 1000 cc 100 hp?
Motorcycles: For 2-cylinder engines, expect to get about 80 to 100 HP. However, a 4-cylinder engine can get up to 180 to 320 HP for some ultra-fast acceleration. Present production model performance cars are often capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in under 5 seconds, while some sports cars and electric vehicles can do 0 to 60 mph in between 2 and 3 seconds. Motorcycles have been able to achieve these figures with sub-500cc since the 1990s.The Bugatti-Rimac CEO says Tesla’s claim of 0-60 mph in under one second is possible, but it requires tons of power and very little weight.
Does 100 hp mean 100 horses?
Horsepower was originally created based on a single horse lifting 33,000 pounds of water one foot in the air from the bottom of a 1,000 foot deep well. This was used by James Watt to provide context to the performance of his steam engines. So yes, it does equal one horse — but not quite in the way you may think. While it is true that the maximum output of a horse is around 15 horsepower, when you average the output of a horse over the course of a work day it ends up being around a horsepower. Watt defined this amount as the amount of work required from a horse to pull 150 pounds out of a hole that was 220 feet deep.
