Could you add laser ignition? say starting from year 2018 to 2020? this new technology could raise engine efficiency by 27% i would like to see this boost to our already really efficient engines.

I just googled this and it's actually a thing, wow.
But yeah, nice try but this will never be added.

At least, not at this stage, mainly because that would be prospective tech. Give it a few years and see if it really does hit the market in a big way and well, maybe :P

Even then, it would make more sense adding diesels before this xD

Solenoid and spherical valvetrains, as well as homogeneous charge compression ignition, just to name a few. :)

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camless) no production vehicle has an engine with this tech but Koenigsegg is the closest with a prototype Saab engine successfully prototyped.

Alfa Romeo and Fiat, both use this for the intake valves on smaller engines.
