Horse power has been described in varying terms since its inception in 1782. A common measure for 1-horse power is 33,000 ft·lb per minute. This is the mechanical amount. See the following article for additional information.

of course one. The idea of giving hp to cars was meant as enabling people to make a direct comparison. Your car is as powerful as a hundred horses... Not very scientific, which explains why the notion of hp is slowly replaced by kw, or other units usually used to measure power. So, your car which has 100 hp has 74.6 kw. The same, but it does not speak to you the same way.
