Stories cover a hydrogen engine from Toyota that emits water vapor, a German hydrogen project that caught the attention of the EV industry, and a BMW patent for a new gasoline unit with a hydrogen fallback. Performance fans will find a Ferrari V12 using oval pistons and a high-revving four-cylinder from Boreham, while the Horse Powertrain C15 is presented as a compact multi-fuel range extender for hybrids.
Many headlines here are written to surprise, so reading the full articles matters: they explain what each prototype actually achieves and how far it is from production. Start with the hydrogen pieces for the broadest context, then move to the performance engines if you care more about sound and revs than about emissions targets.
