eAssist. This sort of 'Hybrid' that makes sense to me. Hybrids don't do any good on the highway against constant road load and I never thought draging around all that extra stuff and big expensive (earth unfriendly) large format battery packs made sense. Just a small regenerative package always made sense to me and now they did it. GM first they say.

Unfortunately, KERS is still in the developmental stage.
Jensen Button had to keep resetting his during last weekend's race at Abu Dhabi.
Now if we could develop a generator/electric motor system, we could have all wheel drive.

I can.. but I'd rather say 'electric supercharger'. But, the electricity gots to come from somewhere. The turbocharger uses what would otherwise be wasted exhaust heat. Although either way I just as soon not boost an engine which wasn't designed for it... especially one in an application which stresses it more than it was designed for already.
