From the racing front, F1 is going to <2.5L V6 I think in 2013. LeMans had been running the green program for a few years now with the hybrids and diesels. NASCAR went to EFI and unleaded finally. Indycar is doing turbos once again.
On street cars, cars are becoming lighter, faster even though it is using less gas and putting out a smaller carbon footprint. Just look at what BMW is doing with their 328, Ford with their EcoBoost engines, Toyota with their hybrids. They put out the same power as their predecessor without burning all the extra fuel while lowering their weight, resulting in a faster car.

Well said! There is a whole new world coming. It will be good as technology has sports cars doing much more with less. Bring it on!!
Keep an open mind. Jay Leno has said the same thing while reviewing the Abarth 500. F1 will have 1.6-litre turbo-charged V6 engines starting in 2014.
If they keep the 6 then thats a win as well!
