Wow, a simple but brilliant idea. 

I saw a koenigsegg at Topgear live, quite impressive in full carbon fibre.

And they said Hydrogen would be the way forward with engines! I'm not so sure?

Feeling inspired, and interested I searched YouTube and have watched all the other 'Inside Koenig ............ however-its-spelt'. Good, interesting, informative vids. With all that labour going into each car it's easy to see why the price tag is so high!

I saw one in the drivers parade in Le Mans town centre a few years ago. It was in lacquered, plain carbon fibre. Looked awesome, and sounded even better!!

You beat me to it Brian. Nothing new about independently controlled valves, and pneumatic ones. First time it's made it into a road car though.

One of the new BMW car engines no longer uses a throttle body to control the engine speed, it simply adjusts the valve timing to correspond to throttle position, and it still has a cam - they claim doing this gives less flow disturbance so better throttle response.
