A variable system of an internal combustion engine spaces a closing timing IVC of an intake valve apart from an intake bottom dead center BDC by a variable actuation valve mechanism and also increases a mechanical expansion ratio E by a variable compression ratio mechanism when an engine torque increases to around a maximum engine torque. The variable system sets the closing timing IVC of the intake valve to a closing timing IVCd spaced apart from the intake bottom dead center BDC around the maximum engine torque. Due to this control, the variable system can reduce an effective compression ratio to enhance a knocking resistance capability, and, further, achieve improvement of thermal efficiency and also reduce a temperature of exhaust gas to prevent or reduce thermal damage on an exhaust-system component by increasing the mechanical expansion ratio.

An internal combustion engine includes an intercooler configured to cool an intake gas compressed by a compressor, a cooler bypass passage configured to bypass the intercooler, and a cooler bypass valve configured to open and close the cooler bypass passage, and an exhaust gas recirculation gas is introduced into an upstream side of the intercooler. An electronic control unit is configured to open the cooler bypass valve during use of a high exhaust gas recirculation rate region, and to close the cooler bypass valve during use of a low exhaust gas recirculation rate region.
