This is probably a stupid question but what is the differences between PS, BHP and just good ol' Horsepower? What do they stand for and are they different measurments or what?

 

they are difrent measurements that all equal the same thing if you use the proper formula to get the "sum"

a whole lotta help rite??

 

BHP = Brake Horse Power, it's the amount of usable horsepower measured at either the crank or wheels.

PS = Dunno what it means, but it's pretty much the metric measurement for hp. In a conversion it'd be slightly less power than hp. Like 280 PS = 276 HP

 

Just found this on the internet. PS means "Pferdestärke" and 1 PS = 1.014 HP
