Cars powered by aircraft engines. Common practice for early land speed cars as a way to get more engine capacity.

Afraid not quite......... We’re talking (in general) pre-war (tho often around the time of The Great war), internal combustion engines powering rear wheels. Engines such a Napier Lion broad-arrow formation 12 cylinder, 24 litres, Liberty V12 of 27 litres Merlin V12 of 27 litres Maybach Zeppelin of 23 litres Some folk have, for bit of a jolly wheeze in recent years, constructed cars with such engines https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/race_drivers_count_louis_zborowski.phpCouple of photos to give an idea
