#Koenigsegg has been hard at work creating an engine without a camshaft. Christian von Koenigsegg founded the #FreeValve subsidiary and now has released a detailed video describing its advanced new engine

I guess that means VTEC is always kicking in

Thanks for this video. Now I can build my very own Koenigsegg

I remember reading article and 1987 that was regarding the variable valve timing that was in the Honda (Acura) NSX. One of the topics covered in the article was regarding the future evolution of valve timing may someday be electro-magnetically operated valves. . . . It's nice to see such 1980's science fiction become reality.

Someone already swapped this in a 98 Honda Civic

Impressive. I always thought that more electronics are just prone to more problems but this seems quite simple. And plus, less revolving parts driven from the crank, more power to the wheels on top of the efficiency of this system. Hats off to you Mr. Koenigsegg!

Here's something interesting - the background music turns into a pretty decent D&B track at 2x speed.

Koenigsegg is the future of motoring.
If they can make that engine on a large scale and produce a new car for the normal consumers, they would dominate the market. I'm a huge fan of their work.

same concept of a fuel injector but used for valve train... I love it

This is actually extremely simple. And just like the 9 speed transmission on the Jesko, Christian must have said "how has no one done it before?"

Its hilarious how many people say "cool, but what if it breaks? then it'll cost money to fix." As though current engines are completely free of faults and free to fix.

Christian Von Koenigsegg is a freakin' GENIUS!! He is undoubtedly the most creative, passionate, and daring car magnate that ever lived, and my dream is to one day own one of his creations. We're living in great times people.

Pneumatic vales have been applied in Formula 1 for quite some time now. About time it made its way onto public roads!!

So basically they replaced the camshaft with a computer

A friend owned a company that made solenoids that operated the flaps (and other things) on F16's - the operating speeds and pressures were breathtaking.
