Here's How Koenigsegg's Fascinating Camless 'Freevalve' Engine Works
This interesting video has surfaced explaining in more detail how the innovative Freevalve engines work. It gives the car full individual control of each intake and exhaust valve, allowing individual timings to increase performance or minimise fuel consumption
This is not a new video, but it appears to have been picked up by MotorAuthority yesterday and is now doing the rounds. It’s a fascinating watch that we haven’t shared before, so here you go!

Hmm interesting
the future is here, and it kinda scares me
Just another thing to go wrong…
But what about when you overheat the engine, the rail heats up, the gasket or circuit board cracks and you get oil in the electronics? Not sure how I feel about it, but I’m curious to see what they do with the idea.
Repost! Used the search feature… That’s one reason you created it for!
i was wondering when will someone replace gears with electronics.
this looks good but if electronics fail, there goes the engine
whata time to be alive
they have been using a similar system on commercial diesel ship engines. it operates off fuel pressure from the boosters, or hydraulic pressure from a system driven by the crankshaft. this technology has been around a very long time.

Looks to me like exactly the same thing Multiair engines use. Except this is for both cams and not just intake.
