It’s a well established fact that technologies at the pinnacle of the automotive industry such as Formula 1 and Hypercar development eventually trickle down in to the cars we drive everyday.
In this fascinating video by /DRIVE, Christian von Koenigsegg explains the many advantages of his company’s Freevalve technology.
To give you a taste, the advantages include:
- 47% increase in torque with their comparison conventional motor of the same displacement
- 45% increase in power as above
- ~35% lower emissions
- ~15% less fuel consumption
- Lower centre of gravity
- Reduced weight
- Improved cooling efficiency
- Reduced raw material requirements
- Reduced production costs
- No need for Direct Injection – reduced complexity
- Cam-less operation which enables:
- Total independent control of each valve
- In-cylinder throttle control with greatly improved throttle response
- Boost control via the exhaust valves
Needless to say, this technology appears to tick all the right boxes and the future looks bright!
