Ever-tightening emissions requirements, teamed with consumers’ lust for today’s high horsepower numbers, have led to some creative valve timing and lift schemes. Infiniti’s G37 will be pack some interesting tech underhood when it debuts at the upcoming New York International Auto Show. There are actually two new developments working in conjunction to give independent control over valve timing and lift. Nissan has dubbed the control technologies Variable Valve Event and Lift and Continuous Valve Timing control, or VVEL and C-VTC, respectively. VVEL uses a clever arrangement of links to actuate the valves, and moves the fulcrum for the links via a seperate shaft actuated by a DC motor. By moving the fulcrum, the valve lift is varied.

Not much news here, just pics. Infiniti just released additional artsy images of the new 2008 G37 Coupe that will make its official debut next week at the New York Auto Show. As always, we’ve added them to our gallery of desktop wallpaper-sized pics for your perusal.
The Autoblog team hit the New York auto show with full force, and we captured everything the show had to offer. In fact, the 2007 New York show represented the most videos we’ve ever done for an Auto Show, and we started our own video page on YouTube to house it all. The new Hyundai Genesis, Subaru WRX, Ford Flex, and NISMO 350Z were only a few of the things we saw in New York, and we’ve captured a bunch of the news in the video after the jump. We hope you like it.
With the dust still settling from our trip to the New York Auto Show, we decided it would be best to focus only on cars from the Big Apple this week. There were plenty of great photos, from exotics and vintage hot rods, to new products like the Subaru WRX and Ford Flex. You can check out videos from the New York show here, and all the latest news and information can be found here. We’ve also added links below to some of the more exciting galleries from New York.
This week, music come from The Michael E. Thomas Band with “Going to New York“. Enjoy! %Gallery-2463% %Gallery-2466% %Gallery-2436% %Gallery-2423% %Gallery-2363%
