The Daimler-Benz DB 605 was a German liquid-cooled inverted V12 aircraft engine built during the Second World War and used from 1942 to 1945. Developed from the DB 601, it widened the bore from 150 to 154 millimetres, raising displacement from 33.9 to 35.7 litres, and added higher revolutions, a higher compression ratio and a stronger supercharger, lifting power from about 1,350 to 1,475 PS. It powered late model Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters, the Bf 110 and Me 210C, and licence built versions flew in Italian types such as the Macchi C.205 and Fiat G.55. Bearing and valve problems troubled it in service. About 42,400 were built.
