Now multiple powerful sparks such as multi-plug heads have some advantages but of course will require more spark producing energy.

But there is not much evidence the larger power supplied to multi sparking plugs offer much advantage or they'd have been incorporated into the range of automotives more widely.
I had an Audi long ago and it came from the factory with the four prong plugs. They didn't last long and I didn't feel any loss of power when I changed them to one prong plugs.
