I recall a couple of years back rumors were floating around that BMW was developing a similar system for M cars. If it can live up to its claim of linear power delivery and no turbo lag that would be amazing. Wonder if the next gen M2 or other M cars will get an e-turbo. May sound improbably today, but the the new M5 has AWD so I guess anything can happen.

Here's that thread
http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=597327 I found it incredibly fascinating but it sounds like they could only package it into a V6 or something. I am surprised though that we didn't see anything like this in recent models. I wonder if this is because they'd rather go hybrid and use battery powered assistance at low rpm for fast launches. With that you wouldn't need an eturbo.

Audi is working on a 48V system that actually generates power from suspension travel, and I believe one of the intended uses of the power was to run an "eTurbo" (really, electric supercharger, no?) to help smooth out lag / allow for a larger main turbo to be used.

It‘s a very interessting technology. I think Audi has a first car out with it, if I remember well, the new SQ7 TDI (4l V8)...which also has the 48V system.
Personally, I think this will be the future for turbo engines. |

Didn't Volvo release this on their S90 Diesel?
