Impressive specs

"Koenigsegg cars are mid-engine cars," the founder explains. "We don't make pure electric cars because for the time being, we think they're too heavy, and they don't make a cool sound. And as long as we can be CO2 neutral and frugal and clean comparatively, we will push the combustion engine."

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) - especially the mid-engine part and that a car should make a cool sound. Triple's have a very cool sound.

No mention of price. My bet is that you can have a near original 914/6 for the price of this Koenigsegg engine alone. You can scratch me off the list of potential firsts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The tech is around and these guys have always been up there,the valveless engine concept isn't new,most of the research has come from the constant need to make large marine diesel engines more frugal,the bigger ships run by the last company I worked for were burning 650,000L per 6 week trip...they are small engines (toys)compared to container and cruise ships that have engines making 1000hp/cylinder,now you are talking serious fuel consumption (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) .
The development is there but most people are too focused on electric cars and thinking its the way to go due to well advertised info by certain car companies.unless you are generating power from hydro-electric or wind farms these is nothing "green" about them.
