The world's largest engine is the Finnish company's Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96, which is produced for the largest marine vessels in the world. We offer you a selection of the TOP 10 largest engines in the world.
An engine is a machine that burns fuel to produce motive force. The engine converts fuel energy into useful mechanical motion. There are many types of engines, but the largest engines in the world are used in marine shipping. That's why our selection of the ten largest engines in the world starts with the largest power unit, the Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96, which produces 107,389 hp.
But the most powerful and largest engines are used not only in the shipbuilding industry, but also in other industries such as electric power, space industry, aviation, etc.
But in fact, in order to answer the question of what are the largest engines in the world, you need to understand that for some specific equipment, even a small motor size may turn out to be the largest in the world, although in terms of power it will not be the strongest in the world. For example, a 2.6 liter motorcycle engine can be considered the largest in the world. Or a 9 liter passenger car engine.
So, depending on which side to evaluate power units in order to determine which engine is the largest?
Check out our selection of the World's Largest Engines.

The maximum speed of the car is 330 km/h. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds.
Note that this is not the maximum displacement engine installed in a passenger car. There is also a Chevrolet "572" 9.2 V8, but it is inferior to the Viper in terms of power.
10) The largest engine on a production motorcycle
Volume: 2.3 liters
Power: 140 hp
Many probably assumed that this nomination would naturally go to Harley Davidson motorcycles, but alas, this is not the case.
The largest engine installed on a commercially produced motorcycle is the Triumph Rocket III 3-cylinder engine. The motorcycle has a 2.3 liter water-cooled engine.
Power 140 hp at 6000 rpm in a minute. The traction force is 200 N.m. at 2500 rpm.
The fuel tank capacity is 24 liters.
There are also engines installed on motorcycles, which are larger in volume than the power unit from Triumph Rocket III (for example, Bosshoss bikes), but nevertheless this nomination was given to Triumph Rocket, since the large engine is installed on a traditional motorcycle, and not on its modifications or motorcycles that have undergone tuning (craft cars or autobikes).
Another noteworthy jet engine did not make it into the TOP 10. It was not included in this main list because the selection, if possible, includes all types of engines by industry. Another aircraft engine, which is larger in size, hit the Top.
But despite the fact that this engine is not included in the list of the largest engines in the world, it is currently the largest jet engine on the planet.
Aviation jet engine GE90-115B, which is equipped with Boeing 777 series aircraft
Motor size: Diameter - 3.25 m, Length - 7.49 m, Weight - 7550 kg.
Power: Traction force - 569000 N.m.
(included in the Guinness Book of Records as the engine with the most powerful thrust of jet aircraft engines in the world )
Despite its enormous size, this engine remains the world's best in terms of efficiency of wide-body engines in aircraft construction.
The engine design is as amazing as the engine specifications. The materials used in the engine are able to withstand temperatures up to 1316 degrees Celsius. This engine saves up to 10 percent of fuel during long-distance flights compared to other similar aircraft power units.
It is quite natural that the automotive industry uses completely different power units, which differ from each other in the number of cylinders, volume, supercharging and power.
Today we bring to your attention an impromptu rating of the most powerful engines by number of cylinders in the world: from the small two-cylinder engine of the FIAT 500 model to the mighty W16 unit, which is used on the Bugatti Chiron hypercar.
For a fair comparison, we're not including hybrid powertrains in this list because their electrical impulse skews the results too much. For example, the 1.6-liter V6 engine of the Mercedes-Benz Project One hypercar with four electric motors is capable of generating about 1,100 hp, which would give it a leading position.
Note that all power units included in the ranking of the top most powerful engines by number of cylinders are currently used in production cars. That is, our hit parade is as relevant as possible. So. If you've ever wondered what the most powerful car engine is for a given number of cylinders, then our ranking provides the answer.
2 cylinders - FIAT 0.9 TwinAir
It's surprising, but the small 0.9 TwinAir turbo engine used in the FIAT 500 compact model is capable of generating 103 horsepower. Let's note. While this figure is a winner in the automotive world, there are better performing engines in the motorcycle world. For example, the V2 power unit with a volume of 1285 cubic centimeters of the Ducati 1299 Panigale R FE model produces ... 207 horsepower.
At the time of writing this material, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine from the American company Ford produces 136 hp. is the most powerful three-cylinder engine you can buy. However, this result will be surpassed in the very near future: the Fiesta ST model with a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with an output of 197 hp will soon be available in Europe this fall.
4 Cylinders - Mercedes-AMG 2.0 Mercedes-AMG's four-cylinder 2.0-liter supercharged engine produces 375 horsepower. As you know, this unit is used on models such as CLA-Class, A-Class and GLA-Class. This figure is impressive, but it is not the best ever. In 2014, the Japanese company Mitsubishi offered the Evolution X FQ-440 MR model, which was equipped with a 4-cylinder 440-horsepower engine. The car's circulation was limited to only 50 copies.
12 cylinders - Ferrari 6.5 V12 The most powerful 12-cylinder engine with a displacement of 6.5 liters is installed in the recently introduced Ferrari 812 Superfast coupe, where it generates 789 (800) horsepower. Thanks to the powerful unit and optimally tuned chassis, the car is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds.
16 cylinders - Bugatti 8.0 W16 There are not many cars in the global automotive industry that are equipped with 16-cylinder engines. It is therefore clear that the most powerful 16-cylinder engine in the world is Bugatti's quad-turbo engine, which is capable of generating 1,500 horsepower. However, it is worth recalling that there is such a car as the Devel Sixteen, which is equipped with a V16 engine, the power of which can vary from 3000 to 5000 horsepower. However, this car has not yet gone into production, but the engine actually exists.
The world's largest jet engine April 26th, 2016
Here you fly with some apprehension, and all the time you look back to the past, when planes were small and could easily glide in case of any problem, but here it’s more and more. As we continue the process of replenishing our piggy bank, let’s read and look at such an aircraft engine.
The American company General Electric is currently testing the world's largest jet engine. The new product is being developed specifically for the new Boeing 777X.
Here are the details...
Photo 2. 
The record-breaking jet engine was named GE9X. Considering that the first Boeings with this technical miracle will take to the skies no earlier than 2020, General Electric can be confident in their future. Indeed, at the moment the total number of orders for GE9X exceeds 700 units. Now turn on the calculator. One such engine costs $29 million. As for the first tests, they are taking place in the vicinity of the town of Peebles, Ohio, USA. The diameter of the GE9X blade is 3.5 meters, and the inlet dimensions are 5.5 m x 3.7 m. One engine will be able to produce 45.36 tons of jet thrust.

According to GE, no commercial engine in the world has as high a compression ratio (27:1 compression ratio) as the GE9X. Composite materials are actively used in the engine design.
Photo 4. 
GE plans to install the GE9X on the Boeing 777X wide-body long-haul aircraft. The company has already received orders from Emirates, Lufthansa, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Cathay Pacific and others.
Photo 5. 
The first tests of the complete GE9X engine are currently underway. Testing began back in 2011, when components were tested. GE said this relatively early review was done to obtain test data and start the certification process as the company plans to install such engines for flight testing as early as 2018.
Photo 6. 
The combustion chamber and turbine can withstand temperatures up to 1315 °C, which makes it possible to use fuel more efficiently and reduce its emissions.
Additionally, the GE9X features 3D printed fuel injectors. The company keeps this complex system of wind tunnels and recesses a secret.
Photo 7. 
The GE9X is equipped with a low-pressure compressor turbine and an accessory drive gearbox. The latter drives the fuel pump, oil pump, and hydraulic pump for the aircraft control system. Unlike the previous GE90 engine, which had 11 axles and 8 auxiliary units, the new GE9X is equipped with 10 axles and 9 units.
Reducing the number of axles not only reduces weight, but also reduces the number of parts and simplifies the logistics chain. The second GE9X engine is scheduled to be ready for testing next year
Photo 8. 
The GE9X engine uses a variety of parts and components made from lightweight, heat-resistant ceramic matrix composites (CMC). These materials are able to withstand enormous temperatures and this has made it possible to significantly increase the temperature in the combustion chamber of the engine. “The higher the temperature you can get in the bowels of the engine, the more efficient it is,” says Rick Kennedy, a representative of GE Aviation, “At higher temperatures, fuel is burned more completely, it is consumed less and emissions of harmful substances are reduced into the environment."
Modern 3D printing technologies played a great role in the manufacture of some components of the GE9X engine. With their help, several parts were created, including fuel injectors, of such complex shapes that it was impossible to obtain them by traditional machining. “The complex configuration of the fuel channels is a closely guarded trade secret,” says Rick Kennedy, “Thanks to these channels, the fuel is distributed and atomized in the combustion chamber in the most uniform way.”
Photo 9. 
It should be noted that the recent test marks the first time the GE9X engine has been run in its fully assembled form. And the development of this engine, accompanied by bench testing of individual components, has been carried out over the past few years.
Finally, it should be noted that despite the fact that the GE9X engine holds the title of the world's largest jet engine, it does not hold the record for the amount of thrust it produces. The absolute record holder for this indicator is the previous generation engine GE90-115B, capable of developing a thrust of 57,833 tons (127,500 lbs).

The feeling of driving a powerful car cannot be expressed in words. Pressing the pedal to the metal and racing along the highway at a speed of over 400 km/h is the dream of every car enthusiast. The best engineers in the automotive industry understand drive enthusiasts and every year they release new engines that amaze drivers around the world. Of course, such machines cost a lot of money, and some are still not available on the market and are made to order. They show not only the passion for speed, but also the wealth of the driver.
Origin of internal combustion engines
Most drivers like to discuss the power of their vehicles with friends, as well as read relevant articles and study ratings. However, not everyone knows how and in what form diesel and gasoline engines existed previously.
Type of internal combustion engine The history of internal combustion engines dates back to the very end of the eighteenth century. So, in 1799, the Frenchman Philippe Lebon patented his invention - a motor that runs on lamp gas, also an open engineer. Since then, a lot of research has followed (mostly unsuccessful) and a number of inventions, thanks to which the engine has become the way we know it.
The first gasoline engine appeared after a series of tests and proposals from engineers of that time - they were looking for new types of fuel. Among other mixtures, kerosene was tried, but it differed in that it evaporated poorly. It was replaced by gasoline, previously known only to housewives - it was sold in pharmacies as a cleaning agent. In 1888, Russian Ogneslav Kostovich visited the Department of Trade and Manufactures with a request to issue permission to use the new engine. “Improved, operating with kerosene, gasoline, oil, lighting and other gases and explosives” - this motor has become fundamental in modern production. Kostovich received permission only in 1892. Within 4 years, he managed to patent the invention in the UK and the USA.
Ogneslav Kostovich invented the gasoline engine not to make life easier for motorists, but to create his own airship with an innovative design, including the type of power supply. The project never saw the light of day, but the engine was perfect for ground vehicles. Kostovich's engine had a water cooling system, electric ignition and an opposed cylinder arrangement.
The first diesel engine, the technology of which is also widespread today, has a more popular origin story. It was created by the well-known Rudolf Diesel - the technology and type of fuel are named after him. In 1890, Diesel introduced the idea that for better fuel economy, rapid compression technology should be used. In 1893, Rudolf received a patent for the Diesel engine, and 4 years later he released the first working prototype. The engine was highly efficient, but had too large dimensions, so for a long time gasoline units were the priority.
What does engine power depend on?
To better understand this, you need to know how its running potential is calculated. First of all, it depends on the amount of horsepower. This term was introduced by James Watt, a Scottish inventor and engineer. This was necessary to calculate the equivalent number of horses required to pull a steam engine - also Watt's project. In 1789, the inventor made a series of mathematical calculations, examining the capabilities of a horse, averaged over a long period of time. So, one horsepower was the equivalent of 735 watts. It is noteworthy that the system for measuring power in watts (W, W) was named after James Watt 64 years after his death.
One way or another, motor power is not a constant quantity. It depends on engine speed. The maximum power of the average motor is approximately 6000 rpm. Of course, no one drives at such speeds - when driving around the city, the tachometer shows approximately 3000 rpm. When driving at half the engine's potential, its power is also halved. To increase the number of revolutions, it is necessary to lower the transmission gear.
It takes some time to gain speed, which does not allow you to mobilize all the horsepower instantly. Torque is responsible for the time it takes to gain speed - the third indicator on which the actual power of the engine depends.
Thus, the actual power of the engine depends not only on the number of horsepower. An equally important factor is the number of revolutions that allow the potential to be realized, as well as the torque, which determines the time spent on this. In addition, power also depends on the mass of the machine - the number of liters. With. per ton of weight is called the “specific indicator”.
Rating of 2019 cars with the most powerful engines in the world
For 2019, the Dodge Challenger received a new trim – the Hellcat Redeye with 797 horsepower. One of the world's most powerful engines in a car, the standard Hellcat, has been increased to 717, and numerous modifications and options are available throughout the Challenger line.

The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette once again pushes the boundaries of performance. The new extreme ZR1 debuts this year. This expands the Corvette range to four models, available in both and other body styles. Each car was tested at Germany's famous (and sometimes intimidating) Nürburgring circuit and represents an incredible bargain compared to its much more expensive European competition, despite the ZR1 breaking the $120,000 barrier.
Try to find another super sports car like this with an amazing 755 horsepower for $250,000. Even the base Stingray still produces 455 horsepower in a lightweight body, which is plenty for most people. The Corvette, now in its seventh generation, also has its own manners, refinement, equipment and other features.
It's a 755 horsepower beast whose immense power makes it a member of a club that also includes Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bentley.
Under the hood
One 6.2-liter V8, four possible variants. The Stingray and Grand Sport have a naturally aspirated version. In the first, it develops 455 horsepower. An optional active exhaust system (standard on the Grand Sport) increases that to 460 horsepower. The 2019 Corvette Z06 has a supercharger to produce 650 horsepower, while the new 2019 ZR1 increases the supercharger output to 755 horsepower, making it the most powerful production car GM has ever produced.

Despite being the flagship S-Class lineup, the 2019 Mercedes-AMG S63 and S65 transform this stately luxury car into a performance machine as attractive as a Porsche Panamera Turbo but with a more adult-friendly rear seat. Of course, unlike the big S-Class, the AMG models are more popular because the S63 and S65 deliver amazing, straight-line performance backed by brilliant handling. AMG models are equipped with hand-built twin-turbocharged engines: V8 for the S63 and V12 for the S65. They also come in coupe and sedan versions, equipped with the best Mercedes-Benz features and the highest price tags.
If you love the size and refinement of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class but feel it lacks the bold design appeal needed by a younger crowd, be sure to check out the 2019 Mercedes-AMG S63 and S65. The powerful and productive V12 S65 is becoming increasingly rare. If you're planning to spend up to $250,000 on a large luxury sedan, you'll want to consider something more exclusive like the Bentley Flying Spur, Porsche Panamera Turbo Executive, or even the Rolls Royce Ghost.
For 2019, changes to the Mercedes-AMG S63 and S65 are limited to two new steering wheel options, one in wood and leather and the other in carbon fiber.
Under the hood
2019 Mercedes-AMG S63 models are powered by a handcrafted 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces more than 603 horsepower. (or 4Matic) is standard on these models and provides 0-100 km/h in the 3-second range.
The even more expensive Mercedes-AMG S65 is one of the few new cars still offering a V12. In this case, it is a 6.0-liter engine with two turbines. Compared to the V8, it doesn't have much more power - 621 versus 603 - but does deliver a locomotive-like 1,001 Nm of torque.
Unlike the S63, Mercedes-AMG S65 models are rear-wheel drive. The S63 uses a 9-speed transmission, while the S65 uses a 7-speed transmission. Fuel consumption is not entirely economical. Both have a start/stop system that shuts off the engine when idling.
Available engine options:
- 4.0-liter Twin-Turbo V8 (S63).
- 603 horsepower at 5500–6000 rpm.
- 900 Nm of torque at 2250–4500 rpm.
- Fuel consumption in the city/highway – 13.8/9 liters. per 100 km. (sedan), 13.8/8.7 l. (coupe), 15.6/9.8 l. (cabriolet).
- 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 (S65).
- 621 hp at 4800-5400 rpm.
- 1001 Nm of torque at 2300-4300 rpm.
- Fuel consumption in the city/highway – 18/10.7 l. per 100 km. (sedan), 18/11.2 l. (coupe), 16.8/11.2 l. (cabriolet).
The 2019 BMW M5 proves that there are still plenty of fans for performance sedans, thanks largely to the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces an excellent 600 horsepower. With standard all-wheel drive, this 6th generation Bavarian super sedan achieves a top speed of 100 km. per hour in 3.2 seconds and reaching a maximum speed of 250 km. at one o'clock.
Peculiarities
For experienced drivers looking for some serious thrills, the M5 can be switched to a rear-wheel drive only mode that allows for drifting and other shenanigans. In addition, the new 2019 BMW M9 Competition - with an aggressively tuned suspension, stiffer engine mounts and a 617-horsepower V8, the new M5 Competition is the most powerful M5 model ever sold by BMW. Its maximum speed is 304 km. at one o'clock.
If you're a longtime BMW M fan or just want the most powerful model in the BMW 5 Series lineup, the new M5 is perfect. Its impressive track ability is backed by impeccable everyday simplicity and luxury. Brand loyalty aside, the new M5, at $103,700, is a very expensive proposition. And consider this: The M550i costs about $30,000 less, and this top model in the standard BMW 5 Series lineup has a V8 engine.
The BMW M5 Competition ($111,000) is new for 2019. In addition to its 617-horsepower V8, this hyper-sporty M5 features a more aggressively tuned suspension, stronger engine mounts and lightweight forged wheels. Additionally, Apple CarPlay is now standard in all 2019 BMW M5s.
Under the hood
The twin-engine 4.4-liter V8 engine in the 2019 BMW M5 produces 600 horsepower. In the new BMW M5 Competition, the same base V8 produces 617 horsepower thanks to subtle tuning and a less harsh M Sport exhaust system. The 2019 M9's all-wheel drive engine handles hard acceleration in a truly thrilling way, backed by the sharp shifts of BMW's excellent 8-speed automatic transmission.
While users are happy that BMW allows the M5 to switch to a rear-wheel drive setup via an M-specific system, do so with caution. The M5 features an engine start/stop feature that saves fuel by reducing engine power at idle. Please note that the automatic restart occurs suddenly, so it is recommended that you disable the system using the button under the red ignition button.
