It stands for 'pferde staerke' (i kid you not...); it's german for horse power.

I suspect that this may be as it's worth knowing the power of german (and japanese cars) but for pretty much everyone else it's moot, as they make rubbish cars.

HP = Horse Power

PS = Pony's per Second

Horsepower, Metric, PS The power needed to raise 75 kg at a speed of one metre per second = 735.5 Watts

Horsepower, Imperial HP The power needed to raise 550lbs at a speed of one foot per second = 745.7 Watts

One PS is therefore about 98.6% of one bhp
