How Torque Relates to Horsepower
Understanding the Formula
Horsepower (HP) is a measure of an engine’s power output. It’s directly derived from torque and engine speed using the simple formula:
HP = (Torque × RPM) ÷ 5252
- Torque (lb-ft) is the twisting force the engine produces.
- RPM is how fast the engine is spinning.
- 5252 is the constant that converts lb-ft and RPM into horsepower.
