It had pretty interesting engine. Sadly they didn't release any technical details how it was constructed. A patent application (from Bosch) from the time when it was presented hinted that the compression ratio was adjusted by rotating the main bearing which moved the crankshaft line.

I remember reading about that or something similar in a Brazilian car magazine (it was also a Mercedes system), I'll see if I can get a scan of it up.

Here's an image from the Bosch patent application (US6588384 B2). I'm pretty sure that it is related to the certain car.
