I wouldn't be surprised (if the hydrogen economy takes hold, and that is a massive 'if') to see someone still making hydrogen powered V8s explicitly for enthusiasts. It wouldn't be as efficient or as light or probably even as powerful as a gas powered engine. But there will still be demand for it as a niche product. Like manual transmissions.
