Sup everyone,

I'm always watching all sorts of tech oriented kinda vids and what not. Recently while watching the Koenigsegg series from Drive(Youtube) I've learned about the camless tech they are wanting to implement into Production down the road. Now, at the end of this video I want you guys to tell what you see and what engine is in the car. Any ideas?



5:45 can be your starting point but the video as a whole is great. F1 companies like Renault, BMW, Fiat, Valeo, GM, Ricardo, Ford and Lotus have looked into this but due to F1 restrictions haven't been able to test it as much.


Thoughts peeps?

I love that idea for the camless engine. That whole series is incredible. Want an agera so bad

And given that is hopefully a saab engine then it shares the ecotec platform with us... Omfg camless lsj would put us on a new planet

That is what I was thinking, Saab's used LSJ only didn't they? except with turbos? Did they every use DI ecotec? LNF variants? Head design differences huge?

Idk but theres someone on here running a saab block and supercharged. Idk what engine would have been in that car tho, it looks like more of a 90s model

Well, I have a friend of mine(not sure of his username on here) that bought a Saab LSJ with Turbo, put the supercharger on it for a bit and then threw a Hahn S20G in it.

Cam-less engines have been toyed with for years. would obviously be insane to have. i cant see the video at work.

imagine having that nice lopey idle, but being able to change the "cam-grind" so to speak throughout the RPM range for either full power or fuel efficiency? would be pretty insane

With a camless system though would also have to be pair to a very advance ECM as well.

absolutely, but you cant tell the that the technology isnt there now. someone has to have or be close to figuring all this out by now.

A lot of things can be done if there is enough money.

Saab used a varient of the LSJ motor called the B207R. it is pretty much the exact same motor but the intake manifold for the LSJ wont bolt up the the B207R without some modification. the LK9 in a Saab 9-3 is a turbo LSJ. My buddy recently got rid of his Sport for one and it moves pretty good. Looks exactly like an LSJ under the hood too. minus the supercharger

I heard about this like a year ago. Very cool. Cars 7-10 years from now are going to have all kinds of awesome engine tech. 400hp and 40 MPG will be a piece of cake.

They used a version of the LSJ.

It has a different head design. I think the correct engine code was LK9 for the Saab.

So I'm curious and want to give Koenigsegg a call. Should I do it? I mean, I understand that a system like this would be ridiculously expensive but I just want to know what they say.
