94 horsepower is 70.09578793 kW. The exact arithmetic is 94 × 0.7456998716 = 70.0957879287 kilowatts, using the defined factor rather than a rounded one, so this matches what a calibrated instrument would give you.
70.0958 kW is 94 mechanical horsepower and 95.3 metric PS. Put that through a 1,400 kg car at 80% drivetrain efficiency and the energy needed to reach 100 km/h — 540.1 kJ — takes about 9.63 seconds to deliver, which is a floor rather than a real figure because it ignores drag and traction limits.
The result lands almost exactly on 70 kW, which is why this is one of the conversions people remember. Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 1.3 instead of using the exact factor 0.7456998716. At 94 that shortcut gives 72.307692 kilowatts, off by 2.212 kilowatts or about 3.16%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
