Italian term or phrase: doppio variatore di fase continuo
un [...] motore [...] dotato di [...] doppio variatore di fase continuo, che conferma la vocazione sportiva [del marchio/della macchina]

Can anybody give me a hand with this?

The real problem is "doppio"; I have "variable valve timing unit" in TermBase and wikipedia tells me that "continuous variable valve timing" exists.

Is it two units that work together to fulfil a single function? A description of the process as a whole?

In the wikipedia article there's a Double Vanos system and Double Continuous Variable Cam Phasing by General Motors.
