that was a good vid, this guy does good engineering vids. how about that 2l punching out 600hp, wow. free valve is awesome and koenigsegg has a great vision , to me koenigsegg is the elon musk of internal combustion engines.

At least much more fun than the Tesla hooker who brings a laptop rather than a lapdance to turn you on.

The first production car to run with no camshafts?
Surprised it has taken this long. It goes to show how archaic the ICE is and the lack of advancement it has come over the past 120 years.
The amount of money in recalls and warranty coverage BMW, Nissan, Audi/VW etc have spent on timing chain issues could have gone a long way towards implementing this tech in their production engines no doubt.

Although I am grateful for Cummins not pursuing this tech as chewed out cams and rockers is good job security. Easy money 👌

Depends who owns the truck
An Indian or a farmer will keep her going

That was the valve cam.
Injector cam lobes are around three times as wide, twice diameter and have a shorter rocker arm. So they rarely fail.

Probably my favourite exotic car.

Bugatti seem to have a better following but I prefer the K look.
