the biggest ground breaking change of freevalve would be for me if you have access to the ECUor an aftermarket one, being able to program different camshaft profiles maps, experiment with two stroke cycle, completely modify sound, jake/Air brakes, etc
Lots of cool stuff if you are into programming or messing with software possibilities
if you redirect half the exhaust valve to an air tank, you can make pneumatical regen braking, using air brake to slow down the car and store compressed exhaust gas in a tank, and release the pressurized gas into the cylinder during acceleration for "free" energy
The fact that fiat multiair egines does maybe 50% of what a true freevalve engine can do....well I think its more a proof that more can be achieved, than a sign that freevalve is dead.
If freevalve tech dies, or just never goes mainstream, stays within koenigsegg, it will probably be for cost/mass production/reliability issue ? OR by lack of ICE R&D investments , being redirected to EVs
