Convert 100 kW to HP – Kilowatts in Horsepower Converting Calculator

When converted, the engine power output of 100 kW in HP is equivalent to 136 bhp. This refers to cars with an engine size of nearly 1700 cc fitted with 4 cylinders and 16 valves. The typical amount of torque applied to these engines is more or less 240 pound-feet.

This number of torque allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour within 10 seconds. However, there are other car models with larger engine size and with a greater amount of torque. Most car models with 136 bhp can maintain a top speed of 124 to 135 miles per hour.

On the contrary, this doesn’t mean that your car can reach similar speed after converting 100 kW to HP and finding out that you use a model with the same horsepower. Look at this table and see how each model differs when it comes to top speed even though all of them have the same horsepower.
