Future engines
Are there any future engines in Audi development? I mean with new
technology behind them? A few years ago when I was a kid, I recalled a
small company (maybe in Italy) was developing and engine with rotary
valvetrain. No valves,etc. Just a single rotating cam that acted as a cam
and valves. I recall that a drawback was high NOx and backfires. Allowed
an engine to make more power and spin up to high rpms because of no
valvetrain.
