I think we can all agree that 2020 was largely one giant 'miss' in the eyes of the world, but despite the ensemble-cast list of disasters, there were a few shining lights, particularly in the automotive world.
At CarAdvice / Drive, we're in for a massive year - where we'll see the launch of the new Drive.com.au platform and a coming together of our two great mastheads. What's more, we will shortly announce the details of the 2021 Drive Car of the Year program, so make sure you stay tuned for that!
Looking further than our own backyard though, we asked the CarAdvice / Drive team what they see in the tea-leaves for the next 12-months...
The origin of horsepower – the true story behind the term rev-heads take for granted
…
As we all settle in and open a new tab to watch ‘the race that stops a nation’, why not impress your friends with a little anecdote of how the measure of horsepower came to be?
Sure, we refer to a car’s power output in thousands-of-watts (kW), but somehow the popular imperial measurement of horsepower just sounds so much cooler. Plus, it converts to bigger numbers, and when it comes to power, bigger is better.
