i think they are just trying to head off the typical "american" enthusiasts fear of change with a little bit of imagination towards custom possibilities.
id guarantee the decision was based on cost. much cheaper to machine one cam for an engine compared to 4-8

First thought in my mind too. I'll believe it when they have a finished product for sale, until then its an expensive pipe dream

Pairing pushrods (relatively low tech and cheap) with direct injection (relatively high tech and expensive) doesn't make much sense to me.
![]() My thoughts as well. It is interesting but I'm skeptical it will actually happen and even if it does chances are it will be ridiculously priced. |
