VVEL in action

I don't know if this is a repost but thought this flash movie of VVEL illustration was interesting even if you can't read Japanese.

I fail to see the validity in this statement. Infiniti basically cribbed BMWs design here only they made it lighter, less complicated and capable of sustaining slightly more revs. No doubt VVEL is one step ahead of Valvetronic, but BMW set the template. Give credit where credit is due.
As for the throttle body, like BMW I'm guessing it's also there in case the VVEL system fails and will enable the vehicle to enter into a "limp home mode." Like others have said, it's also there for smog purposes to reduce emissions on start up.

Their wording is a complete marketing ploy. This is a conventional engine, who's engine speed is controlled by the two throttle bodies. They are trying to meld VVEL and spin it to make it sound like it can control the throttle/engine speed...but it cannot do this. This engine requires TB's, and its not something just for emissions purposes.
Hope that helps.
