Interesting, but there is a reason hydrogen cars haven't got off the ground and it has very little to do with the engine itself. There are a lot of logistics issues with hydrogen than make EV deployment look like a cakewalk.

The only thing that it take to "save the V8" is an easing of regulations.

A production version of a hydrogen powered car is just 10 years away. Always has been and always will be.

As I've said it before, and continue to stand by it, electricity is not going to be the future of transportation on its own. Its simply too dirty to produce and not efficient enough to be the sole provider of power to things that can't be fully connected to the power grid 24/7.

Glad to see some other forms of power, especially ones that would keep the ICE and all its glory around.

In the beginning the automobile was propelled by:
1. Gasoline
2. Electric
3. Steam
Seems gasoline has always been the leader

I’m afraid it’s even too late for that. The momentum has shifted so much to going green nonsense. Even if regulations were eliminated here, Europe is still going to have a big influence on our car market and they don’t seem to want to ease up the regs over there

If regulations were eliminated here, what was being done in Europe wouldn't matter one bit.

Coyote,Predator,Cyclone,Voodoo and now...... Hindenburg.

That's not really true. OEMs are doing their best to build global products on shared platforms to reduce costs. Sure, there might be some US-unique models, like there are today, but 90% of vehicles would be designed for the world.

Besides, these regulations aren't as bad as people make them out to be. We all benefit a lot from cleaner air and water, safer products, better medicines, more fair competition and society, etc., than we had back in the 50s-70s.

Please don't start that.

There is nothing better about more government and regulation. It's all bad.

 

[Mr. Maboomba]

What an incomplete point of view.

This is what LA used to be like, due to smog, before cars got cleaner.

This is what it looks like today.

what is a global economy and how does it work?

have you read that '22 mustangs are down 10 hp? do you know why?
also, like many other people i own a car that was built in europe. there is a reason that my 4.0 TT v8 is no longer available in this model car and its not because of US regulations

Look dude, LA looks like that even today. It's a weather phenomenon, not from pollution.

This was from last year. LA still has some of the worst air quality in the nation, rated F. LA is in a bowl, and it's atmosphere stagnates. Add in fires and such, and that's just LA.

It's not about cars, it's about geography and weather.
