Maybe so, maybe not. The trend as of the last 3-4 decades was to keep the displacement between 240-300cc per cylinder. A over square design of roughly 3.5-4.2inch bore, and 1.4-2.3inch stroke. Regardless of the regulations we can expect this to stay constant.
Performance figures will vary but we can't say for sure that a new 3 liter v10 will make a significant amount more now than it did 12 years ago. Certainly with the current fuel regulations. But i highly doubt they will change the displacement levels.
