Find one before the Honda vtec prelude. How about a desmodromic Ducati? Designing a working vtec is a designer's holy grail, mucvh less a desmo. Always check motorcycle engines to see the future of car internal combustion engines.

Internal ford target is 240 hp; the european 'rally' car has 300 hp.
But probably Ford legal will cause it to be 200 hp.
