48V EBooster as shown on Motorweek

Interesting I guess, I would think the pro cal tune does about the same thing.



TC

This system is premiering in the Mercedes S Class on a 3.0L. It appears to offer the advantage of repeatable on-demand performance without any consumables (like nitrous or ethanol).

Pluses vs V8:
+ Equivalent or slightly more low-end power than V8 for the first 1/8 mile or so.
+ Better overall performance at elevation (like Denver)
+ Better Fuel Economy
+ Can be Paid for after you pay off new car, or retrofit to bargain used Ecoboost.

Negatives:
- More Stress on smaller engine
- Voids any powertrain / emissions warranties
- Billy Bob Quality Installation

No mention of price to install a supercharger and a new larger turbo charger, but for every dollar that brings this system closer to $9,000 (GT vs Ecoboost prices) the more this becomes a marketing fail.

Mods: Seems like you could get IT guys to update/fix spell checker to include terms like powertrain and Ecoboost. This is a car site right?

The 2018 Jeep JL 2.0L Turbo has a similar eBoost system with a 48Volt Lithium battery bolted to the underbody.
