What exactly they plan is still unknown, but cool it is!

The sleuths of Autoguide on something very special can be interrupted. Octrooitekeningen of Honda, maybe the whole principle of the internal combustion engine as we know it now could be overlapping. Honda itself still has nothing to say, so the extent to which this concept of production has already been approached is not totally clear. But because it will be very fat, just a brief explanation. What is the difference with a regular engine?

Well, the Japanese have an engine whose cylinders, each with a different content. Then you should not think about the bore, which is everywhere the same, but to get started. That is variable, so if you have a lot of torque needed, it will be extended, if you have a high power need, to keep a short stroke about. Also, the stroke of, for example, cylinder two will be shortened, while that of the fourth cylinder is extended. In total you 15 different combinations.

Honda is definitely not averse to innovations that their usefulness have proven. What do you think of VTEC? And a few months back they came with a powerful 1.0 turbo.

What with the new engine and would like to achieve, and especially how, to me is personally not clear. They will no doubt be a stronger and more fuel-efficient engine. Am very curious in any case, more info in the below gallery.
