What's your favourite engine that can't be found in a car?
I was recently talking to one of our freelancers about 1000bhp wood-chippers (as you do), and it got me wondering about other non-car things that have big-power engines.
I was recently talking to one of our freelancers about 1000bhp wood-chippers (as you do), and it got me wondering about other non-car things that have big-power engines. Then Brittany Ferries released a (frankly bizarre) press release boasting about how its ferries have four 12-cylinder engines making 65,000bhp, and I felt like I wanted to know more.
So, what are your suggestions for cool, big engines found outside the car world?

KTM 1290 SuperDuke R engine.
Well for me, I’ll take the old Rolls Royce RB211 turbofan used on Lockheed L1011 Tri-star or the Trent 800 used in Boeing 777-200
the Pratt and Whitney F119 PW100 afterburning turbofan that powers the F-22 Raptor stealth fighter.
I had no idea if was a turbo fan.
Linear earospike engine.
I love this engine that never made into production,the Petronas E01 built in 1998..as powerful as the K20A..total HP n Torque is equal,which is 200HP n 200NM..originally built to fit into Proton’s cars,however, Proton cancelled the project n decided to use their junk CamPro engine that has low power….so far I know,only 2 prototype Proton cars n 1 Lotus Elise use this engine
One of those rolls royce jet engines
V12 Panzer
My heart
A rolls Royce Merlin V12 with a water cooled supercharger from a spitfire. Will this fit in a honda?
