2 stroke car engines.
 
In the age old Etech versus 4s, one classic line is "well... how come there are no 2 stroke cars?"

I am actually a suzi guy, but I got my fingers crossed that someone comes up with a diesel outboard soon. If you read the fine print, it looks like lotus (who use a tuned camry engine in their regular sports car, and supply chassis to Tesla), is working with orbital (the aussies behind Tohatsu TLDI and Merc Optimax).

Ask and you shall recieve.... Of course now we need more HP. This one is no longer in production but the technology is there.

Yanmar D Series Marine Diesel Engine
(36hp)

Diesel outboards that work!
Boat owners quickly relate to the strong advantages of diesels.
. lower chance of electrical trouble.
. much better fuel efficiency
. long, reliable work-filled life.
When all 3 are combined, the case for a diesel becomes overwhelming. But what about small boats? Virtually unobtainable? That was until Yanmar launched its D series diesel outboards, creating waves of excitement amongst user and the industry alike!
Now instead of fickle performance common to so many gasoline engines, the diesel outboard presents operational savings and long-term strengths that make pure sense to the commercial operator.
