Today I learned the metric equivalent of horsepower is, horsepower. You’d think someone would have come up with a better name.

Never heard of anyone using it. Is it mostly used by technicians?
I think I only heard/read it once or twice, but yes, I think most shorten it to just cavalos
How are cars advertised in Portugal? In Germany, Pferdestärken (PS) is commonly used.
In Portugal, we usually just say “Cavalos” (horses)
Pferd is horse, right? What is “stärken”?
Yes, Stärke means strength (could also mean starch, but not in this case), Stärken here is (Dative case) plural.
