I found this fascinating so I thought I'd share. Apparently "Inside Koenigsegg" is an 8-part series from Drive; I've watched some of the other videos and those are fascinating as well.

I can't wait for more of this F1 tech to filter down!

Great vid!

It sounds quite interesting. I'd like to see what kind of a price tag they'd attach to something like this.

When I was a mechanical engineering student at the UofM in 2004, another student did a report on that valve technology. I thought it was cool. I never knew they could machine it in an older model car though.

I like how they did a retrofit into an existing "normal" car. Very cool.

That is fucking crazy, sadly I'm sure the US and the other greedy bastards won't let that get into public hands.

I wonder how much that would cost.....

I think the opposite since it helps with emissions, mileage, etc which are in line with 2016 CAFE standards.
