Good idea -- I wonder what driveability is like: is there reduced power (especially torque)? I wonder if a learning curve exists in driving with this type of engine. Since it's found in some hybrid applications, the electric motor makes-up for the "getting started" part.
I'm curious if a custom cam would achieve the result...
But, I see that the original Atkinson engine had a different stroke on the intake and exhaust cycles...
