Notes:
Values quoted in [] are nearer to the truth - 280 PS is a voluntary agreed power limit!
Units:
Speed: 1 kph ≈ .6214 mph, 155 mph ≈ 250 kph, 100 kph ≈ 62 mph.
Power: 1 PS = 75 kg m/s ≈ 1.014 bhp, 280 PS ≈ 276 bhp. (PS = pferdestaerke)
Torque: 1 kg m ≈ 7.233 lb ft, 41 kg m ≈ 296 lb ft.
Strictly, power = force × velocity rather than mass × velocity and is
measured in watts, W. Similarly, torque = force × distance rather than mass × distance and is
measured in N m. They are related as follows,
power = force × velocity = acceleration × mass × velocity.
Also, 75 × power (PS) = torque (kg m) × revs (rpm) × 2π / 60.
