Horsepower is a state of measurement. The numerical figure is 745.7 watt. Horsepower is a term coined by James Wyatt, a Scottish born engineer with a keen interest in building steam engines.
The term was an effective way for people to grasp the strength of the steam engine and its capacity for work. Although, the use of this term is used today, sparingly in engineering circles, people still enjoy referring to the power of the car engine in horsepower.
Lithia Subaru of Oregon City is delighted for customers to check out the strength of their cars. Watt began his measurement of vehicle strength by measuring the amount of weight horses could pull per minute. Since horses have hauled loads for decades it is only fitting, they keep the title of strength and durability.
The staff welcomes you to stop by Lithia Subaru of Oregon City, and test out the horsepower of the car you favor.
