The McLaren F1 with its BMW V12 has pneumatically controlled valves. BMW now has its Valvetronic system on its 4.5 liter V8 in the 745i which uses infinitely variable valve timing to replace the operation of a throttle body.

As for this head where it uses rotors instead of valves, I heard about it a couple years ago but had never seen a picture of it until now.
