No mention of the Porsche system in that Wiki, odd?

I saw that this morning and yes it is some crazy cool technology...but I wouldn't rush out and buy into it. First gen tech is rarely without bugs... lol
If you are into cool tech, check out Koenigsegsiggesgoenigsegg's (seriously, how do you spell it!?) solenoid valves, giving the ability to control the valves independently of the crank. Combined with the above tech, it could lead to some SERIOUS MPG / Power gains!

no.. they been running it on a saab for about 100000miles now, no issues or faults at all
simply computer controlled compressed air.. additionally they are experimenting with using the air charge to "drive" the engine at low speeds when there is surplus
