Very interesting - but the complexity of the valve actuator introduces a reliability risk. 

Honda should give it a try in their F1 engine..... :snigger:

Very technical, early days though.
5 years time it might be in ZD i30 diesel hybrid,  900 cc  with twin snails, 10 speed DCT, :winker:

It'll never sell in Europe.

Well, not after 2040, so they'd better get developing.
