Very intriguing indeed. I'm all for it.

And it's already lined up for use by Toyota!

From motorcycles to snowmobiles, Yamaha's engineering expertise knows no bounds. The Japanese brand has previously teamed up with carmakers, famously helping Volvo shoehorn a V8 into early S80 and XC90 models. But when it comes to automotive partnerships, Yamaha and Toyota have done some truly incredible work together, from the magnificent V10-powered LFA to the current Lexus IS 500 V8.

But Toyota has contracted Yamaha yet again, this time to create a hydrogen-powered V8 engine. Based on the 5.0-liter engine found in the RC F, modifications have been made to the cylinder heads, intake manifold, injectors, and several other components. Running on hydrogen, it produces 450-horsepower at 6,800 rpm and 398 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm.

I don't think internal combustion needs saving. There are so many ways to make it work, the money just has to be put in the right place.

I don't think ICE needs just money to save it. If that was the case, oil companies would be throwing billions at it. I don't think ICE is dying either - far from. I think we will just continue this trend of smaller displacement boosted ICE engines, with added electric assistance.
Toyota keeps trying to milk more life from variants of the 2UR-GSE lol. How far will they go?

Good for them! I would much rather drive a hydrogen ICE than any of the BEVs.

Battery Electric Vehicles are glorified as green, when all they do is shift the carbon footprint further up the chain to electricity generation, which is far from Green.
