Did You Know - Horsepower VS Torque Edition

Here Is The Difference Between Horsepower And Torque

SCCA racing legend and Motor Trend presenter Randy Pobst has driven just about every car on the planet. So when it comes to clearing up the often misunderstood difference between your car’s two primary power ratings—horsepower and torque—he’s definitely up for the job.

Pobst sat down with VINWiki’s Car Stories to explain how these two measurements work. The illustration he came up with is really helpful. He said that torque is the initial punch you feel when you hammer on the accelerator right off the line. Horsepower is how long you are pushed back in your seat.

Did You Know - DB Edition

This Is What The 'DB' In Aston Martin DB Cars Stands For

Aston Martin DB2. Aston Martin DB4. Aston Martin DB5, 6, 9, S, 10, 11. You get the idea. So, what does “DB” stand for? Dead Bird? Doobie Brothers? Database? DeciBel? Dragon Ball??

It turns out “DB” was actually a man’s name (super uncommon in this industry, I know). It stands for David Brown, a machine manufacturer and driver, according to our friends at Motor1 UK. Brown bought Aston Martin in the 1940s and proceeded to slap his initials on the cars.
