vvt=variable valve timing.

In theory, there's an optimum time for intake and exhaust valves to open and close for any given rpm. by varying the timing throughout the rpm range, you can broaden the rpm range in which the engine is operating optimally.

The benefits are in increased hp and fuel efficiency as compared to fixed valve timing.
