Once the novelty wears off everyone is going to be clamouring for the V8s again - sounds too thin.

That is something similar to the 2015 STI was suspected to be developed, due to Subaru Hybrid Turbo patent back in 2005.
Before you know it....the STI is freaking UN-CHANGED |

Haven't seen the video yet but I thought the turbocharger was equipped with an electric motor system where the motor keeps it spooled up and in situations where there is excess pressure and boost is not needed, the motor recaptures that energy and stores it.
Need to doublecheck my sources...

So the full electric supercharger thread is relevant here, I guess.... It's a hybrid of that and an exhaust driven compressor.
