This looks impressive...
I read recently that AMG were looking at it for new models.So someone makes an electric motor assisted turbo? I could get behind a stock IS38 with one.
Yes, as Aussie R noted Mercedes-AMG is seriously looking into putting it in some of their models (https://www.garrettmotion.com/news/...ification-trends-beginning-with-mercedes-amg/), though it's been used in F1 already. It's really a great idea (if it's durable), as not only does it allow for bigger turbos without the lag, it also does so without the need for a richer A/F mixture, thus reducing emissions while increasing milage. Honest! If you want to know more about their e-turbo, here's a link to one of Garrett's PowerPoint slide sets: https://mkto.garrettmotion.com/rs/893-DRQ-470/images/Garrett Motion E-Turbo Whitepaper 2019.pdf?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTVdWbFpHSTROV0prTVdNMyIsInQiOiJDTDNcL2RyeHRsWTRSWmZ1eW14RnZ3NTFrMU5YSEZNamdTOVRcL0NOelR1djAyR05EbWpEUGpPMlBpTktaQkxJditHbWgzMHM3QVZjdDhlNnEzWCt4Uys5MHNwXC92dHRXXC85emJOVkw3djkxQWYyNjl6WnlTZHVmSitzSCtjY2VpaEoifQ== --I hope the link works for you.So someone makes an electric motor assisted turbo?
