horsepowers
Engine output units
Horsepowers is the plural of horsepower, a unit measuring the rate at which work is done—originally based on the estimated output of a draft horse.
The plural appears when comparing different power ratings: The two engines have different horsepowers.
In casual speech, horsepower often serves for both singular and plural: How many horsepower does it have?
