The Truth About Horsepower Numbers Explained In 60 Seconds

Ever wondered why a car rated at 400 horsepower might only make 300 at the wheels? 🚗💨
Here’s the truth about horsepower numbers: manufacturers usually quote crank horsepower, not what actually reaches the wheels. Once power goes through the transmission, driveshaft, and differential, you lose 15–20% — that’s called drivetrain loss.

On top of that, dyno machines can vary, and marketing teams often round up or exaggerate the numbers.

So next time someone brags about their car’s horsepower, remember: the number on paper isn’t always the number on the road.
