Impressive. All using traction fluid too.

I guess there is significant electronics to drive the CVT. Interesting design, it is toroidal.

Would be interesting to hear if it will sound different due to the CVT.

Turbos can have variable vanes, so now centri sc's can have a variable input gear.

The company website states the tech is designed to allow smaller engines to provide greater output. Net result cited, a 1 L engine produces similar power to a 1.5 L but with greater efficiency due to less or smaller cylinders creating lower friction and pumping loss.

I dont think the initial development is oriented toward high performance. More so, high efficiency.
