 Rolls-Royce Kestrel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kestrel was a 700 hp (520 kW) V-12 aircraft engine from Rolls-Royce, their first cast-block engine and the pattern for most of their future piston-engine designs.

Increased availablity of higher octane fuels in the late 1930s allowed the engine to be boosted to higher power levels without suffering from ping, and the Kestrel eventually topped out at 1,050 hp (780 kW) in the XXX model of 1940.
