What Is Llamathrust: Looking at Alternative HP Measurements

As car owners, we're all accustomed to the standard unit of measure that goes with every car: HORSEPOWER. However, there are a lot of other units of measurement that they could have used instead. How much fun would it be if they had gone with something like Duckpower instead? Let's take a look at a few of these fun alternatives together! 

Assume that the comparison vehicle is a 2024 Mini Countryman All4, which has 134 horsepower. [Link to vehicle inventory] 

Watts: 746 Watts = 1 Horsepower, making that countryman about 141,000 watts. That's a lot of lightbulbs! 

Now let's have some fun. 

Donkeypower: The average donkey has about 1/3 the power of a horse. Making the 2024 Countryman around 406 donkey power. 

Llamathrust: The llama is actually stronger than a donkey getting about 2/3 horsepower. Meaning that the Countryman has an approximate llamathrust rating of 209.5. 

Duckpower: Thanks to some research we know that an average duck has about 0.238 horsepower. Meaning that our example Countryman has a whopping 4,273.5 duck power. That's a lot of ducks! 

Dolphinpower: Did you know that the average dolphin produces 7.25 horsepower? To match the power of the Countryman you would need about 972 dolphins!
