I believe for a manufacturer at this time to invest any further in the internal combustion engine R&D will be a bad investment. We have to follow the automotive world and see where they are heading. Mercedes has a 2,L 4 cylinder motor which reliably puts out 400 + hp, for every day use, what we expected from a V8 not too long ago. That was their last investment, they have now taken the risk not to bother about short term income, but rather stop all further internal combustion work and focus everything into electrical. Mercedes has always been a pioneer for new technology. I believe this is the trend everyone will follow.
The Busa will become a legend of old times, for some a collectors item.
