Thats 0,375l per cylinder for the V12 and 0,45l for the V10!. If you use those numbers for an 4 cylinder engine, that would be and 1,5l and 1,8l engines!.
A V10 is likely, but the V12 is getting to small, and reliability will become a big issue!

There aren't many V10 road cars. But i don't believe they will die out!. Supercars will still be made with the big V engines, like the american muscle V8 never really died!
