New zero lag turbo

Had to share this with everyone here as I know you will find this interesting.

F1's Hybrid turbos are awesome and you want one in your car. Now

They're calling it "ERS" or something like that (just 'Energy Recovery System' rather than the full KERS acronym).

All of the teams are using it and it's in addition to the now traditional KERS systems. It will be automatic rather than activated by the driver.

Systems like this can (and should) be adapted for road cars relatively soon, tho packaging is going to be tricky since they're so large as compared to a normal turbo.

I expect to see at least some road models appearing with this tech within the next decade, at least.

That is really cool

Really interesting. So basically it's both a turbocharger and electric supercharger. We should get tax rebates for installing these since they are "hybrid"
