Most engine (and airframe) manufacturers have a raft of preliminary design studies on the go at any given time, so it wouldn't be surprising if there had been a 3,000 hp design on the back of an envelope somewhere in Derby.
But given that PWC had already made huge inroads into the market, powering pretty well everything else in that category, it's no surprise that it never saw the light of day if the ATP was likely to be its only application.
