?????? sure looks pretty, twin turbo?

 

[Sea-Dated]

Looks like turbos on the front and blowers on top.

Interesting...

It's posted by a user named firelitestudios. They do 3D modeling and rendering...who knows if the engine is even real, might just be a fictitious demo.

I do remember reading (about 15 years ago) about a ferrari that had turbo and superchargers, super chargers worked at low rpm and the turbos kicked in at higher rpms...

that's what I was thinking...

Looks like vortechs aiming in to some superchargers on top, but then they have air air intakes on the back.....

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

Didn't that crazy J2000 Pontiac pro-street car that was in every car mag back in the early 1990s have turbos huffing into a blower?

I belive that was Rick Dobberton's show car. He had a Nova before that. Wild lookin things....

Some 2-stroke diesels have both I believe. Detroit -71 and -92 series come to mind.

That is alot of compressed air!

I remember that as well. He said that the rear end was so narrow the axles would fit in a shoe box.
