Are you sure?
"VarioCam Plus uses a combination of variable valve timing and variable valve lift on the intake side to improve power, torque and fuel consumption across the entire engine-speed range." - http://homepage.virgin.net/shalco.com/VarioCamPlus.htm
Lol, I am indeed giving it a good go Jalex, just need a bit of clarification.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but Porsche has had this for some years with their "Variocam/Variocam Plus". Came out in the early 1990's I believe.
Six years in development? Do not get me wrong, Audi are an amazing company and have a whole selection of inovations when it comes to the industry. However, this is nothing new when a company has had it for atleast 15 years, now on engines that go up to 8400rpm.

(Unless I am completly wrong and these are two different things, then I apologise for the ignorance)
