How much horsepower is "fast"?

My friend group and I have been debating this topic for a week, so hopefully you can just settle it—how much horsepower is actually “fast”?

Great question! Based on general industry attitudes, a horsepower above 300 is “fast”—but here’s a further breakdown of what that generally looks like:
  • 75 hp: Small entry-level city car
  • 110-200 hp: Mid-sized family car
  • 300+ hp: Performance-oriented vehicles
  • 500+ hp: Supercars
Hope that sorted out your debate!
