Title: 230SL - Max Net Power
Post by: AGT on June 21, 2006, 09:48:05

For my UK licence application I need to state the maximum net power of a 1966 230SL. The databases give a figure of 150BHP but I need to convert this to Kilowatts. Does anyone know how to convert BHP to Kilowatts or, better still, the answer in Kilowatts?

Any help appreciated.

Regards
Andrew

Andrew,

1 horsepower = 0.7457 kilowatts, thus 150 hp = 112 kw.
