Power can be expressed in watts. The table provides a method to convert between watts and other units like erg/s, horsepower (electric), horsepower (metric, DIN, PS), and horsepower (U.K.), and kilowatt. For example, to convert metric horsepower (PS) to imperial horsepower, multiply the PS by 735.4988 and divide by 745.7. Horsepower (DIN) and horsepower (PS) refer to the same unit, which is metric horsepower. Cars rated at different horsepower numbers in different regions can be due to rounding differences when converting between metric and imperial horsepower units.

How do I convert PS to horsepower?
A manufacturer quotes the power of a vehicle at 250PS (Pferdestrke - German for horsepower, equal to metric horsepower and sometimes referred to as 'continental horsepower') converted to watts this would be 183874.7 (250 x 735.4988) and converted to horsepower (imperial) it would be 246.58 (183874.7 / 745.7). To avoid all that hassle you could go straight from 250PS to 246.58hp just by dividing 250 by 1.01387 or by using the calculator above
Which is bigger, Horsepower DIN or Horsepower PS?
They are exactly the same, also known as metric horsepower.
Why are cars rated as 280hp in Japan but 276hp in the U.K.? They use Metric horsepower(DIN/PS) as above, converted to imperial/UK/mechanical horsepower it's 276.17 which gets rounded to 276hp.
