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

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

And the electronics in that hot, fast environment will need some development. :confused:

Very technical, early days though.

It'll never sell in Europe.

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