What's the difference between torque and horsepower?
Or... what does each do? Explain it simple.:bigsmile:

HP = Top speed
Tq = How quickly you get there.
I was gonna use the wall example, but had I actually read all the previos replies I woulda seen it had been done! Therefore I second the wall reply!
Not picking on you specifically, but these generalizations really aren't right. The relationship between hp and torque is a fixed mathematical formula so you can use hp and torque interchangeably at any rpm as you describe the outcome.
OP said explain it simply
HP = Top speed
Tq = How quickly you get there.
Not accurate. Neither determines either or both determine both. Take your pic. It's a circular argument.This is the most accurate and clear simple answer ive seen yet! Hp determines what your top speed is, Torque determines how quickly you reach top speed!
Thats what makes the Hayabusa such a beast is the insane torque AND horsepower!
