Currently, there is a 160% sales tax for vehicles that has an engine larger than 2.0 liters in where I live.

This engine could be a game-changer in countries that have the same taxation. I wish this engine can become mainstream.

Or maybe buy a Tesla.

You may be living in a US bubble. Tesla in many countries is still expensive, not that popular, and electric cars infrastructure is just bad.

They will change the law to 1.99 Litre or less, it probably won't work.

There are already plenty of good 2.0 liter engines that represent little compromise. If the tax regime hasn't adjusted to punish Audi S3 buyers, well, there would be even less to be gained by making special accommodations to tax a small handful of supercars based on displacement.
