INSIDE KOENIGSEGG 248 MPH Without A Gearbox
Very cool design, amazing that they can use just the torque converter without a heavy transmission. at least 100kg saved I think.

Some fantastic videos from them.
Have you seen the one where hes explaining the free valve head. Its going to be a game changer in high performance engines

Very interesting
Although, hearing a powerful engine screaming up through the gears is most of the thrill for me. Red-lining only at the top speed would probably take away a lot of the fun.

yes I watched that one straight after. Amazing stuff, the electronic valves have such a impact on things that seem unconnected such as not needing pre-cats, not needing direct fuel injection, etc. And it puts out more power and torque.
