Spec's for a new motor??

[empip]

The European Commission unveiles new vehicle safety rules...

...The proposed regulation sets more stringent noise emission limits for tyres than existing laws and introduces new requirements on wet grip and rolling resistance to help reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from cars and trucks...
...From 2012, all new cars sold in the European Union will have to be fitted with advanced low-noise, low-resistance tyres, tyre pressure monitoring systems and electronic stability controls.
Manufacturers will have to build advanced emergency brakes and lane departure warning systems into all new heavy-duty vehicles from the same date...
...The rules would apply first to new vehicles, allowing a transition period for adapting vehicles already on the road....
...The only exemption was for four-wheel-drive vehicles used off the roads by fire, police and emergency services, he said...

Adapting vehicles already on the road.. sounds expensive... If buying a new motor, with thoughts of running it into the ground, electronic stability control - built in - will likely be cheaper than retro fit.

How can ESC work on a vehicle having ABS acting on the rear wheels as a pair, rather than separately? - Some actually do that.
