Technically, they're calling it a design study and are not yet trying to offer it into production.
That lump on the lower left hand side of the cam tower looks suspiciously like an oil pump out of a Cosworth engine...

In my dreams, this engine will have a full gear driven valve train. Actually, I would be disappointed if Williams has done anything less than that. After all, it's ancient technology.
