  1. arjun vijay Far less than 50% and they are nearing the limits of physically possible. I do believe the end is near for ICE as much as I enjoy them especially in my BMW M3.

  2. joe kanitz The bottom end is twice as complicated, about that much heavier and far more bulky. Looks like a fail to me. Clever and interesting but it won't be enough better to justify the penalties IMO.

  3. fatdog371 A "ton of potential"? Put a number on it, 10% gain in power/efficiency? At what price? Massive increase in cost, bulk, weight and increased friction. Clever and interesting but doomed I think.

  4. Very interesting but the extra cost, friction, weight, bulk--as shown it's a very 'tall' engine that would need to be laid on it's side I assume or the extra mechanicals rearranged to the side instead of below the crank (how the hell can it be the same "height" as other 4s??), etc., will doom the concept IMO.
