"" cut RPMs wont do because that means cut very directly on performance for petrol ""

Ok there is a way to cut RPM yet have the same level of performance... and bonus better torque potential to... but that would mean a V10... could do 8K RPM (perhaps a little more), yet maintain the same 3L to cut fuel.

The biggest problem would be weight( it will be a heavier engine)... weight must go down in 2014... and Toyota already have perhaps more 40kg of "capacitors" do deal with (from 3.6 to ( MJ).. yet they could match(close) that way the torque potential of the 2L turbocharged Porsche (for a diesel just fugetaboutit! lol).
