Episode 7 of the Inside Koenigsegg series, where Christian von Koenigsegg demonstrates the camless Free Valve engine technology. It discusses how such innovation could affect the wider auto industry.
Why Hacker News points people here: Cited in threads on camless, digital valve and free-piston engines as a look at Koenigsegg's freevalve work.

“I remember seeing something similar to this a year ago in a documentary series concerning the small Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg.”
Koenigsegg documentary segment on a similar engine concept.
I remember seeing something similar to this a year ago in a documentary series concerning the small Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg. See it here: this video . It sounds really interesting.
“3d printing a whole engine must surely enable some impressive things.”
Example of 3D printing a whole engine.
There is a lot more to come from the ICE when it comes to manufacturing processes and the electronics. Work like this: this video 3d printing a whole engine must surely enable some impressive things. I remember watching a little demonstration using machine learning for the engine timing once you can get the belts out.
“Koenigsegg (among others, I assume) has been working on this tech [0][1].”
Koenigsegg's work on camless valve technology.
The timing chain and the camshaft seems really inefficient; I'm looking forward to when camless designs become more mainstream. Koenigsegg (among others, I assume) has been working on this tech [0][1]. 0: link 1: this video
