Electric Supercharger for Subaru engines??


Recommended Posts

Mazda hyped an electric-motor-assist turbo system for the RX-8 back in 05-ish, but it never seemed to come to much.

The rotary engine is so small that space is much less of a concern. One reason why the LGT weighs less than comparably sized cars is that the flat motor requires less steel to enclose it in the body. This is also the reason why many cars have transversely mounted engines which shorten and therefore lighten the vehicle.
