What is 600 cc converted to horsepower?

There are approximately 15 to 17 cc per horsepower, so 600 cc is equal to 35 to 40 horsepower. There are too many variables to enable an exact conversion, so the number of horsepower to 600 cc can only be estimated.

The Scottish inventor and engineer James Watt invented the term "horsepower." He calculated that a horse could do, on average, 33,000 foot-pounds per minute. The abbreviation "cc" stands for cubic centimeters and represents the total volume of all the cylinders in a combustion engine. The cc capacity is often shown in liters. Often, the higher the cc size of an engine, the greater the horsepower.
