By Andrew Zimmerman Jones. Definition: Torque is the tendency of a force to cause or change rotational motion of a body. Torque is calculated by multiplying Force and distance, so the SI units of torque are newton-meters, or N*m (even though this is the same as joules, torque isn't work or energy, so should just be newton-meters).
They are fundamentally different concepts. Horsepower is a unit of power which is the amount of work (W) which can be performed in a unit of time (t). Torque (tau) is a measure of force (F) applied across a moment arm (r). You can think of horsepower as literally the amount of power that a horse could perform. You can think of torque as the amount of twisting force on a crankshaft. In terms of real world results, torque is that neck-snapping feeling when you take off.
