I'm trying to think of what it was... documentary? blog? I can't remember but basically [affect Clarkson accent] a Jag.
This guy stripped out the electrics and put in copper bus bars - everything was controlled by relays. Tweaked the engine, exhaust, etc. and took a serious environmental hazard and made it almost as green as a modern ICE (for the time, probably 5 years or so ago.)
The punchline being that really, when it comes right down to it, the most environment impact from a vehicle is from its construction and shouldn't we be reinvigorating old cars instead of crushing them and making new ones.
Good job the idea didn't get traction or he'd be hanging under Hammersmith Bridge. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

With Euro 7 coming in there are the usual predictions of doom for the ICE, e.g.
https://ww2.frost.com/frost-perspectives/european-emission-regulations-will-stringent-emission-regulations-choke-automotive-industry-or-will-oems-find-their-way-out/
tl;dr expect lighter cars, smaller engines, hybridisation, etc.
However, bucking the trend is a Porsche bod:
https://www.thedrive.com/news/33529/porsche-911-boss-claims-new-emissions-regs-could-bring-back-bigger-engines-in-2026
Apparently the Euro 7 specs put a limit on the power output per litre so the prediction is, for performance cars at least, Euro 7 might lead to bigger, turbo engines.
