Explanation:
takie coś znanazłem: kontynentalny koń mechaniczny

One measure to be aware of though is the "continental horsepower" or PS. This stands for "PferdeStarke" - the German translation of "horse power". In France you sometimes see the same measure being called a "CV" for Cheval Vapeur. This measure was chosen in Europe as being the closest thing to a horsepower that could be expressed in nice round metric units - 75 kilogramme metres per second to be exact. It is commonly used by car manufacturers nowadays and tends to get used synonymously with bhp although it is actually a slightly smaller unit of power. One PS is about 98.6% of one bhp. The conversion table below covers the units most commonly used to express power and torque. Copyright David Baker and Puma Race Engines

To convert from: To: Multiply by:
BHP PS 1.01387
BHP Ft Lbs/second 550
BHP Watts 745.7
PS Kg M/second 75
PS Ft Lbs/second 542.476
PS Watts 735.5
Kilowatts BHP 1.341
Kilowatts PS 1.360
Lb Ft Nm 1.356


nie tłumaczy się o ile wiem

tutaj coś po polsku
http://www.mt.com.pl/num/09_01/mommoc.htm
Pomimo obowiązującego układu jednostek SI stosuje się dwie różne jednostki mocy, w większości krajów tzw. metryczny koń mechaniczny (KM, PS, CV) a w krajach anglosaskich koń parowy (HP, BHP), przy czym 1 HP=1,0139 KM lub 1 KM=0,9863 HP.
