Well, I can tell you from this side of secret city, they've got about two hundred years worth of improvements just waiting to be implemented on that old internal combustion engine.

You'd be amazed how clean and efficient it can be if need be(need be, of course, is determined by the powers that be.)

I could take any car on the road today and increase it efficiency by 20% to 30% for less then %1500. K&N intake, MSD ignition, mangna flow exhaust, edlebrock intake and exhaust manfolds.

Which, at past prices have thus far been uneconomical. That is one of the benefits of price. It allocates efforts and innovation when the need arises.

The "powers that be" are those in the free market. Low prices do not stimulate innovation. Resources are better allocated elsewhere.
