RE: the valvetrain, large diesels have been doing this for decades with hydraulically-operated valves, where the hydraulic plunger is driven by cam but precise operation of the valve can be controlled by regulating hydraulic pressure. Fiat definitely wins for transferring the idea to automotive technology, but it's nothing new. Still very cool though.
