Variable stroke / compression ratio engine from Infiniti...

I read about this on Ph yesterday, really clever.

It constantly amazes me that people are still thinking up new mechanicals for engines. They've been around for hundreds of years, and still people are looking at bits of metal moving about and saying, "I could make that better". Its not like with computers where performance gain is a given, its proper brainy people. Probably with huge moustaches and tattoos. Much respect.

saab is the biggest loss in normal-people good-car manufacturing, very sad...
