The timing chain and the camshaft seems really inefficient; I'm looking forward to when camless designs become more mainstream. Koenigsegg (among others, I assume) has been working on this tech [0][1]. 0: link 1: ▶ this video

There is a lot more to come from the ICE when it comes to manufacturing processes and the electronics. Work like this: ▶ this video 3d printing a whole engine must surely enable some impressive things. I remember watching a little demonstration using machine learning for the engine timing once you can get the belts out.

I remember seeing something similar to this a year ago in a documentary series concerning the small Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg. See it here: ▶ this video . It sounds really interesting.
