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?

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

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
