Questions and answers on how to convert things from one unit or system to another
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

What is KW when used in cars?? For e.g.

The Murciélago's 12-cylinder, 6.2-litre aluminium alloy engine produces 425kW at 7500 revs and 650Nm of torque at 5400rpm

I need this in horsepower and torque in lbs per square inch.

kW (kilowatt) is an SI measurement of power.
1 kW = approx. 1.341 hp
425 kW = approx. 569.9 hp

Nm (newton meter) is an SI measurment of torque.
1 Nm = approx. 0.73756215 pound-foot
650 Nm = approx. 479.4153975 pound-foot
