ICE aren't growing much in size and are getting more and more efficient. Why not make them air cooled? Porches used to be aircooled, and those were performance cars with the engine in the back. I would imagine having an engine in the front might be easier to cool, no?

The most used mean of transportation in the world has durability issues ๐Ÿ™„

Compare how much needs to be spent to ride vs to drive, even if you were to change the chain and cassettes every 10k km...

No wonder you're asking if air cooled engines could make a comeback.
