The origin of what we refer to as horsepower in engines is the equivelent of one draft horse, like a Shire or Clydesdale. So if a car engine has a 350 horsepower engine, it's like having 350 Clydesdales under the hood. If you think about it, that's a lot of power. But there has never yet been a machine that can match the absolute beauty of a flesh and blood horse.
Point of Interest:In 2004 country singer Chris LaDoux released Horsepower, a song about the combustablity of the four-legged, one horse power animal we call the domestic horse.
