. Actually in some cases the horsepower of small cars is going down although the drag coefficient is also going down. The reason is to improve the mpg and trying to reduce the CO2 levels so that no tax is paid currently in the UK. This is the case with the small Citroens, Toyotas and Peugeots that are apparently almost identical although they look a bit different.
From my point of view, if they weren't so very expensive and also not available to the general public, I would get the most efficient and up-to-date image intensifying binoculars for night use.
I don't know if these yet compete in optical quality with binoculars, but you will certainly see things that are totally invisible using regular binoculars.
I would also have no problem using the digital binoculars of the future if they were available now, including of course image stabilisation.
I find it a bit strange that cameras have 50 times or now 65 times optical zoom lenses with amazing image stabilisation, yet binoculars are still sold without this.
I suppose the nearest thing to 100% transmission is a simple Galilean glass with top-quality multi-coatings.
You could probably get a genuine 99% transmission.
