The Daimler-Benz DB 603 was a German liquid-cooled inverted V12 aircraft engine used during the Second World War. It enlarged the 33.9 litre DB 601 to 44.5 litres, making it the largest displacement inverted V12 used in front line German aircraft of the war, and produced about 1,750 PS at takeoff in the DB 603A. Production began in May 1942. It powered heavy twin engined types such as the Dornier Do 217 N and M, the Dornier Do 335, the Heinkel He 219, the Messerschmitt Me 410 and the Focke-Wulf Ta 152C, and a prototype was fitted to the Mercedes-Benz T80 land speed record car, from which it was removed when war broke out.
