@@dom3827 The notion of there being no replacement for displacement still holds true though. Charging an engine is basically tricking it into thinking it's got more displacement than it actually has. Isn't modern technology great.
This video will always be close to my heart. I remember I did a project in my Engineering days about VVT, VVD and VVL in a single system using pneumatic and electromagnetic actuators 8 years back. My professor degraded that project proposal saying it's practically non-feasible and this won't happen in a production car for at least next 20 years. Koenigsegg just proved a heady Ph.D wrong and I couldn't be happier.
I've heard a number if stories about how "that won't work, change your thinking" and the student does it anyways and it works. From engineering schools no less.
To be honest, what Koenigsegg did was actually innovative and my projects approach was a bit different but aiming at same result. Since this was only meant for performance cars and had no place in mass market cars, the prof would have rejected it. But they should encourage student to do what's never been done before rather than what would sell...
@@vishverma420 Koenigsegg said a couple years back, they would implement the freevalve system in a mass production car. They had a cooperation with a chinese car maker "QOROS" which should sell cars under the "qamfree" label.

YEah but. F1 engines dont reach the 15000 RPM. Max 13500 RPM. That is beacuse flow rules witch are at const maximum when u go over 10500 RPM. So effective m/s in that case is lower// Calculated 23,85 m/s So very impressive. State of the art tech indeed. F1 are efficiency driven by rulebook and manufacturers will not go to max RPM beacuse that is wasted energy for to much material wear and less MPGs.

Those pistons are really moving. The highest-revving road engine I myself own is a 750 cc, twin cylinder motorcycle engine with a 66 mm stroke and a 9k redline. I'm only getting 19.8 m/s for that engine. EDIT: I recently started teaching myself calculus, and now graphs like you were showing for valve lift have taken on another dimension.
Get ready to crucify me next week. 😂 I'm pretty comfortable with both, and switch often. I do my best to include metric where possible, but when it's an American focused car I often leave it alone.
As a swede I could not care less how our international friends prononciate Swedish, kudos for trying! I think it's rather fun that a lot of people around the world "speaks" Swedish every time they talk about IKEA furniture or Koenigsegg cars :)
F1 rules probably already prohibit this engine, or if they don't, then they would be immediately changed to ban it. F1 is about equalising the competition more than it is about encouraging pioneering developments.
I remember those days when Hennesey had "metaphorical" altercations with Mr. Koenigsegg because of the top speed record. I think he was aiming a little too high when you realize how amazing Mr Kristian is. Everytime they reveal an all new car, its always an engineering feat.
They’ve already sold out and they aren’t even built yet, just like every other model Koenigsegg ever made. They are building 125 Jesko’s and sold out of them the day after it was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.

@@KevAlberta. I genuinely wanted one of those Ford Fiestas. I like the idea of and the technology behind that little engine, you really couldn't beat the MSRP either. I wasn't worried about me causing the accident I was concerned about my "fellow motorists" lol.
@@KevAlberta High five for an Alberta boy driving a car and not a pickup haha. We're a rare breed around here! BTW I drive a 1.4T Jetta, great little engine too.
The underlying notion behind this type of success is that being bold makes huge strides. The LED wasn't brought about by making candles burn more efficiently.
You don't know many women if you think that saying "3 cylinder hybrid" or "6 liter twin turbo V12" would make the slightest difference, it's just gibberish to 99% of them either way.
@@lefuedebout They do make nearly everything themselves. The leather, the bolts, the carbon, the engine,... Al of it. Plus the research/development costs are insane. They also have a very low production number since they make everything by hand. This high price is the only way for Koenigsegg to continue. It's not like Ferarri or Lamborghini that has factory lines for the production of 'cheap' models
Very good video about the ins and outs of the Gemera Drive Train! I was lucky enough to contribute a little bit to the Drive Train (Torque Tube and Drive Shaft), so I feel proud to see parts of my work in this video! And, a small thing added: Swedish pronounciation is "Ye-me-ruh" :-)
Werner Schneider I am interested in the mass of the entire engine. Is it really 70kg complete with cooling, lube, intercooling, starter & 12v charging?
The only replacement for displacement is boost even then you can only push so much boost into an engine before you need to go to more displacement again to get higher power numbers. That and it takes a lot less boost to make larger numbers with more displacement.
That's an amazing amount of horse power to weight ratio. That's a real super car. Great class on explaining the ratios. You simplify it using the math I understand. Great job.
Actually its probably a lot more predictable, with without throttle position. Cam profiles are never direct inputs, that I've seen, instead tuning plays with fuel injection based on O2 results in emissions vs. based on input parameters of knowing exactly what the given volume of air is based on controlled valve position, boost and known lag times for changes to valve position.
I hate to be _that guy_ but I wonder if they could use machine learning to determine the proper valve positions... then again I don't know what goes into regular ECU programming... but it seems like a lot of variables to juggle with a simple procedural algorithm. then again... maybe not. no, probably not. ML usually makes things worse lol
When Koenigsegg just goes shopping and takes an AVL Engine (The guys from Austria which are the founder of the "Freevalve" concept too - which is called Qamfree and was done for Qoros and not Koenigsegg) and adds the rest from RIMAC- meanwhile the 6 times F1 World Champion lays on the ground laughing and spending in one season for research more than the whole Koenigseggs Company is worth.
@@marcnobel3938 koesnigsegg doesnt compete with any company, they are a pride swedisch brand and they make amazing hypercars unlike other manufacturers
@@carholic-sz3qvThey make Hyercars - I agree on that point. - The brand is just overrated because all the Fan Boy believe the PR speaches of the owner. They didn`t invent anything that others can`t do or have not done before. Starting from the V8 that has it`s base still in the Ford Racing Engine they used before ( it`s just modified for their special needs from the start but the main construction is still the same), the electric bits are from Rimac, the 3-Cylinder and Freevalve/Qamfree concept is from AVL. Good Engineering also implies that you get things working reliably. - When talk to Koenigsegg Customers that doesn`t work out very often for them.
@@marcnobel3938 That's false, they made their own V8 and they 100% developed it. Only old Koenigsegg had modified ford engine and the engine is not just the valve system (what about the twin turbo on a 3 cylinder, the insane piston speed...) And another example which show that what you say in unfounded is the transmission they developed for the jesko.
@@chamotyannis The V8 is a "own" Engine as I explained already, but the development is still BASED on the Ford Racing V8 they used before. Adapted with the experience they had made but not developed new from scratch. I know several engines that have "insane" piston speeds. Whatever this means to you. :-D When Koenigsegg makes this transmission one day reliable we can talk. Before it`s not even on the road you can`t make a statement like this. They can`t even make the technology they sell know reliable. What do you think will happen to new and more complex ideas they developed? - Yea - totally unfounded what I say. I just worked in the Engine Supply Chain Management in an F1 Factory and after that for a Motorsport Division of a big manufacturer. Still engineering car parts today. So I have really no idea what I am talking about comparing to a Koenigsegg Fan. Sorry ...
Can’t wait to see what this thing sounds like going flat out. Hearing the turbo spooling along with the exhaust note plus the wine of the electric motors spinning like crazy what a racket.
The Chinese already do that with electric motors as their stated horsepower is generally way more than what they actually make so I'm convinced that they must use smaller horses for the measurement. :-)
@@walkingtalkingmonkey4103 He was referring to performance types, your refering to...price and body types? How do you toss in "luxury" but leave out Sedan, the most common body type in the world? Luxury isn't even a body.
And they claim that even that engine can run with zero emissions... So there's a 1700hp car, with 3600nM, 1000km/600mi range, that can fit four 6'7" people and go 250mph... That's freakin illegal - is Koenigsegg even real?
That's freaking INSANE!!! I still remember when "1 HP per cubic inch" was a worthy goal... Then we strived for and obtained a reliable "100 HP per litre". This just blows passed those goals!! This engine has more horsepower in one litre than an entire early 4.6 litre Ford modular block V8!!
I'm a huge automotive fan, have been all my life. And I'd like to think I have a certain knowledge about internal combustion engines. But I swear, everytime I watch these videos, I realize I don't know a goddamn thing.
I've been trying to find a video clip of it running ever since the aborted Geneva Motor Show but no luck thus far. Quite frustrating considering Christian's emphatic claims the exhaust note is very befitting its performance and pedigree. We'll see.
it makes me so happy seeing more beautiful hybrid cars. I know it's expensive but it shows that they don't have to be ugly but instead can be pieces of art.
I guess the free Valve system could also enable awesome engine braking, just set it to run like a jake brake. Admittedly not required in a car with regen braking but still possible
Thanks again for breaking this all down! You are a real pleasure to watch and listen to, your mind works so efficiently, i would dare compare you to the Koenigsegg's two litre/ 600 hp beast, yet I think you would give it a great run!
I used to own a Volvo T5 and that engine was amazing in multiple ways. The sound of the 5cyl was incredible. But they disappeared...When the area of boring 4cyl came, I was hoping a 3cyl hybrid would come back, for its noise. In Japan I’ve tried many 80’s mini sports cars and they were so much fun to drive. They sounded good but too small, underpowered and from another area. So thank you Mr. Koenigsegg! Future is electric ok, but engine = mechanic, engineering, maintenance, car philosophy, etc. Thank you for keeping fighting!
I love your videos. I wish I could have you when I was in high school. These engineers are amazing. What goes into these motors is crazy. I so respect these guys and the hours that goes into this.

The S2000 will run for 100k miles without a hiccup . I'm sure this Koenigsegg will have Christmas lights going off in the dash at 10k miles, it's a hyper car reliability is not its purpose.
@@lancebangwell Not just Hypers..all sport/Race cars like F1,Nascar,Rally,Etc are mostly made one use only...The more powerful and high tech, the higher the maintenance... unreliable engine is mostly cause less maintained, but most review said Koenigsegg is still more reliable than Bmw,lambo and Ferrari's...They said
F1 rules ALLOW 15k rpm. none have revved over 12k rpm since the hybrid era from fuel flow restrictions. although you may want to compare it to the years of v8 before rev restrictions. some were pushing 21k rpm in qualifying.
The freevalve is magnificent. The applications for four stroke engines is exciting. I am looking forward to outboard marine and motorcycle engine designers to incorporate it quickly. First for the single cylinder 450cc motocross machines. Then parallel twin applications. Think of the compact dimensions allowing for much greater capacities in a much smaller area. Either will much greater over or under square bore to stroke ratios with natural or forced induction. WOW.
In practice, current F1 engines rarely go above 12k RPM (~21m/s APS), so the TFG's APS goes beyond that of current F1 engines by a lot. It compares with the 2006 V8s that did over 20k RPM with a 39.8mm stroke.
@@nik7bkh965 Yeah much and much better! Not 70% electric crap, but just a 100hp electric motor for slow speeds and raw screaming v12 1100hp for racing with 1100 rpm redline. That is what i call a race car. If i want to look at electric cars, i can just charge a lipo battery and put it in an brusless rc car... is much more fun as well as i have the controll over it myself..😂
I'm sure it would. My mate's 3 cly 330hp jetski engine almost chopped itself in half when a rod let go at about 9k rpm. Only thing keeping it together was the head, block was cut in half by the rod swinging around which was still attached to the crank surprisingly.
Really cool what fully controllable valves allows you to do. You can really turn an engine from an efficient cruiser into a monster at the click of a button. Would be cool if other manufacturers would go down this road. I am sure there are cheaper ways to implement it and some of the setups currently being used with 3 dimensional cams probably arent that cheap/simple either
*CORRECTION!* The individual cylinder volume for TFG is 666.7cc, NOT 66.67cc as shown in the video. Same for the V8, 625cc, not 62.50cc. Oops! 🤦♂️Hope everyone's staying safe & social distancing!

Hey, RedBull, here is your new engine supplier!
F1 rules probably already prohibit this engine, or if they don't, then they would be immediately changed to ban it. F1 is about equalising the competition more than it is about encouraging pioneering developments.
I remember those days when Hennesey had "metaphorical" altercations with Mr. Koenigsegg because of the top speed record. I think he was aiming a little too high when you realize how amazing Mr Kristian is. Everytime they reveal an all new car, its always an engineering feat.
What an absolute work of art and marvel of engineering... Wow.
Koenigsegg truly embodies the idea of "where there's a will, there's a way"
Or rather, "where there's a will, there is just no way your car won't live at the repair shop with that many moving parts...."

Can you imagine this kind of system on a 5 litre V8? 🤯
The only replacement for displacement is boost even then you can only push so much boost into an engine before you need to go to more displacement again to get higher power numbers. That and it takes a lot less boost to make larger numbers with more displacement.
@@Windreaver256 You'd need a truck just to fit everything on and in.
That's an amazing amount of horse power to weight ratio. That's a real super car.
Great class on explaining the ratios. You simplify it using the math I understand. Great job.
The ECU programming on this engine must be fascinating.
Wait until it crashes, or better still until a bit flips
> blowing up a 600hp engine by blasting it's ECU with 100W of EM-Radiation.
Actually its probably a lot more predictable, with without throttle position. Cam profiles are never direct inputs, that I've seen, instead tuning plays with fuel injection based on O2 results in emissions vs. based on input parameters of knowing exactly what the given volume of air is based on controlled valve position, boost and known lag times for changes to valve position.
How do I get this engine in my Golf SEL?? Prolly more than I am thinking. I didn't see any mention about milage. Isolating the engine itself.
I hate to be _that guy_ but I wonder if they could use machine learning to determine the proper valve positions...
then again I don't know what goes into regular ECU programming... but it seems like a lot of variables to juggle with a simple procedural algorithm. then again... maybe not.
no, probably not. ML usually makes things worse lol

When Koenigsegg told Mercedes AMG and Toyota to hold their 2.0 Litre bottle of Beer.
When Koenigsegg just goes shopping and takes an AVL Engine (The guys from Austria which are the founder of the "Freevalve" concept too - which is called Qamfree and was done for Qoros and not Koenigsegg) and adds the rest from RIMAC- meanwhile the 6 times F1 World Champion lays on the ground laughing and spending in one season for research more than the whole Koenigseggs Company is worth.
@@marcnobel3938 koesnigsegg doesnt compete with any company, they are a pride swedisch brand and they make amazing hypercars unlike other manufacturers
@@carholic-sz3qvThey make Hyercars - I agree on that point. - The brand is just overrated because all the Fan Boy believe the PR speaches of the owner. They didn`t invent anything that others can`t do or have not done before. Starting from the V8 that has it`s base still in the Ford Racing Engine they used before ( it`s just modified for their special needs from the start but the main construction is still the same), the electric bits are from Rimac, the 3-Cylinder and Freevalve/Qamfree concept is from AVL. Good Engineering also implies that you get things working reliably. - When talk to Koenigsegg Customers that doesn`t work out very often for them.
@@marcnobel3938 That's false, they made their own V8 and they 100% developed it. Only old Koenigsegg had modified ford engine and the engine is not just the valve system (what about the twin turbo on a 3 cylinder, the insane piston speed...) And another example which show that what you say in unfounded is the transmission they developed for the jesko.
@@chamotyannis The V8 is a "own" Engine as I explained already, but the development is still BASED on the Ford Racing V8 they used before. Adapted with the experience they had made but not developed new from scratch. I know several engines that have "insane" piston speeds. Whatever this means to you. :-D When Koenigsegg makes this transmission one day reliable we can talk. Before it`s not even on the road you can`t make a statement like this. They can`t even make the technology they sell know reliable. What do you think will happen to new and more complex ideas they developed? - Yea - totally unfounded what I say. I just worked in the Engine Supply Chain Management in an F1 Factory and after that for a Motorsport Division of a big manufacturer. Still engineering car parts today. So I have really no idea what I am talking about comparing to a Koenigsegg Fan. Sorry ...
Other engineers: You cant get the power of an F1 engine in a 3-cylinder family car.
Koeningsegg: Hold my beer.
Can’t wait to see what this thing sounds like going flat out. Hearing the turbo spooling along with the exhaust note plus the wine of the electric motors spinning like crazy what a racket.
Would breeding smaller horses be a viable way of increasing an engine's horsepower?
plenty of duck sized horses around
It's easier to build a 100 horsepower car and identify as a 2,000 horsepower car.
Noooooo. It would only increase torque!!
Once you get under 13 hands you end up being stuck with a Ford....Pony power for you non equestrian enthusiast.
The Chinese already do that with electric motors as their stated horsepower is generally way more than what they actually make so I'm convinced that they must use smaller horses for the measurement. :-)

And they claim that even that engine can run with zero emissions... So there's a 1700hp car, with 3600nM, 1000km/600mi range, that can fit four 6'7" people and go 250mph...
That's freakin illegal - is Koenigsegg even real?
With 4 full size carry ons and 8 hot and cold cup holders, only 2 doors and full seating for tall people.
I think it's most about "0-60mph uses 1.9sec" since the battery can last 50 kilometers only.

I used to own a Volvo T5 and that engine was amazing in multiple ways. The sound of the 5cyl was incredible. But they disappeared...When the area of boring 4cyl came, I was hoping a 3cyl hybrid would come back, for its noise. In Japan I’ve tried many 80’s mini sports cars and they were so much fun to drive. They sounded good but too small, underpowered and from another area. So thank you Mr. Koenigsegg!

The freevalve is magnificent. The applications for four stroke engines is exciting. I am looking forward to outboard marine and motorcycle engine designers to incorporate it quickly. First for the single cylinder 450cc motocross machines. Then parallel twin applications. Think of the compact dimensions allowing for much greater capacities in a much smaller area. Either will much greater over or under square bore to stroke ratios with natural or forced induction. WOW.
In practice, current F1 engines rarely go above 12k RPM (~21m/s APS), so the TFG's APS goes beyond that of current F1 engines by a lot.
It compares with the 2006 V8s that did over 20k RPM with a 39.8mm stroke.
