A French/British electric turbocharger! I see that working very well. Hopefully they have consulted with Lucas on this.
UH...."draws 350 A when it is used for acceleration, 220A when operating in steady state, and only 1.5 A when the engine idles."
"And 0 to 100 kph times went from 10.9 to 13 sec, a 17% improvement" Yup, that's how it works.

Well, I don't know if it's aimed at a crowd like us, Rharris. If what they claim is accurate...
An increase in power and improved fuel consumption aren't exactly something to sneeze at, y'know?
...Researchers also put the electric supercharger on a 1.4-liter engine, which gave it the performance of a 1.6 liter engine but with less fuel consumption (6.4 liters per 100 km instead of 7.3-litters per 100 km).

350 amps, damn. Ya know I was reading about how cars should have switched over to a 42v system by now, but haven't because of cost and some other bull. It is a great idea.
This is an instance where a car with a 42v electrical system would be awesome.
