Somewhere there's a perfect balance between peak horsepower, low-speed response, reduced emissions, and something you can afford. Variable valve timing and lift have done their part in getting us all ...

The first production car engine with variable valve timing (VVT) came from Alfa Romeo in 1980. It was installed in the fuel-injected Alfa Romeo Spider. Before this, a few experimental systems existed, ...

There is so much going on with internal combustion engines (ICEs) these days, it can give you a headache just reading about them. That's why we do the research for you and then cram it into bite-size ...

Every aspect of an engine is a compromise: torque for horsepower, efficiency for emissions, performance for fuel economy, compression for octane tolerance. During the evolution of the internal ...

Ducati has announced it will introduce new engine technology that will boost power and torque, improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and won’t affect servicing intervals. Ducati Testastretta engine ...

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media ...

The tough guy in you says to stab that cam in retarded a few degrees for maximum top-end horsepower, while your more practical alter ego suggests advancing it a hair for improved low-end torque and ...

Honda did not invent variable valve timing or variable valve lift. In fact, Cadillac had a driver-operated variable valve timing system in production in 1903, three years before Soichiro Honda was ...
