    Wikipedia: “Two common definitions used today are the imperial horsepower, which is about 745.7 watts, and the metric horsepower, which is approximately 735.5 watts.”

    Oh fuck!

    The name is misleading though, it should be like “non-systemic unit of power” or “non-SI unit of power”.

      While it does sound cool to say my car has 490 NSU, I think horsepower is still cooler. Horses are cool.
