Could aircooled engines make a comeback? (self.cars)

ICE aren't growing much in size and are getting more and more efficient. Why not make them air cooled? Porches used to be aircooled, and those were performance cars with the engine in the back. I would imagine having an engine in the front might be easier to cool, no?

They're still a thing on motorcycles, atvs, side by sides, lawn mowers, etc. Everywhere but cars.
