This is not the purpose of this thread, and even if it were, it's wrong.
Just about everything else you say is accurate. CV is a metric horsepower unit - 75kgm/s - and identical to all the other various metric horsepower units like PS, ch, hk, pk and a load of others I can't remember.
1 imperial horsepower is equal to 0.986 metric horsepower, and 746 watts. 1 metric horsepower is equal to 1.014 imperial horsepower, or 735 watts.
Now back to the point of this thread. Pay close attention to the second sentence:
"B"HP isn't a unit. It's a unit and a description. It's hp as measured at the crank, as opposed to whp which is hp measured at the wheels. BHP is measured in hp - Imperial horsepower, or 550lbft/s.I believe that the value is listed on Bhp units... Let me clarify that 1 Hp=1Cv=0.9863200706 Bhp !!!
Obs: Cv is same as Hp (but in Portuguese) Hp=Horsepower, and Bhp=Brake Horse Power (USA power unit)=1,01387 Hp
