two words... existing technology. Two more... existing infrastructure. how about existing markets...
The point is, it isn't a huge stretch. You could take any motor production line, change the head design (add the water injectors), change the cam and pullies, add a water tank and you now have +40% efficiency. You're not trying to reinvent the car, you're just aking it work better. I see it as being even easier to do than electric hybrid, nevermind stirling, and it stays helpful at high rpms and high speeds, unlike electric.
