Just stumbled upon a picture of an electric supercharger from the Hercules Racing Team Kassel on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...levant_count=1). This reminded me of an old discussion we had on the forums, on the "fantasy engine" thread.
I was re-thinking the latter, i.e. use small electric motors in front hubs to store on-board electric energy, then use that energy to power an electric turbocharger. This would help efficiency a bit plus all benefits from a control point of view, packaging etc. IMO this arrangement should still classify the car as a IC and not a "hybrid". What do you guys think?
