On HP is one HP, regardless of the engine. That being said one HP is the ability to move 33,000 lbs one foot, in one minute, or said another way one HP equals 33,000 ftlbs of work done in one minute. As others have basically said the difference is all in the speed at which the HP is produced, and that in effect is called torque.

To make the explination a bit clearer look at it this way. If you moved 33,000 lbs one foot in one minute you've done one HP of work. At the same time if you move 1 lb 33,000 feet in one minute you've still done 1 HP worth of work. That's a bit simplistic but in the end one HP worth of work is still one HP of work.

• HP defined
