What's the latest on the revolutionary Freevalve camless engine? Get the latest from Christian Von Koenigsegg. The goal is independent control over each valve by replacing the camshaft with pneumatic actuators and software to run it.

It always makes me happy to see a CEO of a company actually know their products inside and out...makes for a great company and employees feel like they have a strong leader.

With emissions getting stricter and stricter, with engines becoming smaller and smaller, and with people who want cars to go faster every year, this guy has found a solution to everyone's problem. He's keeping the ICE alive for as long as it can.

I get goosebumps everytime he talks about new tech they're working on. Such powerful thinking.

Amazing how he can communicate such a complex system and make it seem so “ordinary” and do it speaking a secondary language at that!!! Props to what he has done as a person and what his company challenges their own workers to achieve!!

Damn. 1.6ltr turbocharged engine. 160hp - > 240hp. 240Nm - >320Nm + 15% fuel economy. This is witchcraft.

This is one of the biggest advancements in internal combustion engines in a very long time! I absolutely love this technology!

Man just the reduction in mechanical friction and cams operating valves and stuff this has to free up a lot of horse power

Make motorbike engines like this ,we can get so much power and weight loss from these types of engines in motorcycles

I was told years ago where automotive tech was headed. This was one of the technologies being researched back in 2002. Another tech area was cars with no starter motor. The computer would use the crackshaft position sensor to determine which cylinder was just past top dead center and give a double shot of fuel from that injector then fire the spark plug, which would then kick over the engine. Another bit of tech Honda was researching was a device that was installed between the engine and transmission. Apply voltage, and it act as a starter and cranks up the car. Once the key is released and the engine is running, then it acts as a generator/alternator. Saves some weight by not have both a starter and an alternator. They are also looking at electric water and power steering pumps...increasing HP and efficiency by reducing the workload on the engine.
