Taking the camshaft out of our IC engines is going to provide significant
performance improvement and additional capabilities. The Audi V12 racing
engine is diesel fueled with full electronic control of valves and
injectors. Common rail injection using VERY high fuel pressure. There may
be more use of 2 stroke?


First I've heard of the Audi.

I don't know exactly how they planned to activate the valves; there's
a major amount of work involved in same, over small distances & very
short times. I know various cars advance/retard the camshaft timing
but that's a little easier...
