An interesting discussion. I wouldn’t say my engine is the quietest in the world, but I think it’s just Tappets…I’ve tried running with and without the variator connected….quite hard to tell any difference, no change in noise, perhaps a little more low down torque with it connected, but that could be imagination. If I didn’t know I’d disconnected I would say it feels normal. It would be interesting to see a comparison on a rolling road if anyone has access to one. It seems a lot of engineering for very little difference perhaps more about economy/emissions?
