Horsepower to Speed Calculator

Calculate Speed from Horsepower



Formula

The formula to estimate speed from horsepower and weight is:

\[ \text{Speed (MPH)} = \left( \frac{\text{Horsepower (HP)}}{\text{Vehicle Weight (lbs)}} \times 234 \right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \]

What is Horsepower to Speed Conversion?

The horsepower to speed conversion is an estimation of a vehicle's speed based on its engine horsepower and weight. This ratio helps in understanding the potential speed of the vehicle.

Example Calculation

Consider a vehicle with an engine horsepower of 300 HP and a weight of 4000 lbs:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Speed (MPH)} = \left( \frac{300}{4000} \times 234 \right)^{\frac{1}{3}} = 2.92 \text{ MPH} \]

This means the estimated speed of the vehicle is 2.92 MPH.
