Instead of adding a turbo to get more power out of the same engine, they are adding a turbo to get the same amount of power out of a smaller engine.
In addition to the petrol engine and electric motor, the LF-CC hybrid drive system further comprises a generator, a high-performance battery, a power split device which, via planetary reduction gears, combines and re-allocates power from the engine, electric motor and generator according to operational requirements, and a compact power control unit to govern the high speed interaction of the system components.

For a sports car, the appeal of the sound of engine power is clearly a selling point so Caterham had to work hard to get it right.
It not only automatically distributes engine power between the front and rear axles as needed, but also between the left and right rear wheels to provide a sporty feel few AWD vehicles can match.
The challenge here is that this takes an incredible amount of processing performance and a lot of electrical power not only inside the compute engine but also to power the high res, stereo cameras.
The newly designed 16.05-megapixel Live MOS Micro Four Thirds Sensor means images will be cleaner than ever, while the incredible processing power of Venus Engine VII FHD maximises the potential of your images and videos.

FORBES: Could You Land A Large Plane On An Interstate Highway?
The C-Max Energi has an EV mode button on the center stack that lets the driver choose between three modes: electric-only driving, normal hybrid mode (which blends electric and gasoline engine power as appropriate) or EV-later mode, which reserves the battery pack power for later use.

Controlling steering using electric motors also helps to reduce fuel consumption and hence carbon-dioxide emissions. (Electric motors require power only when the steering wheel is turned, whereas a hydraulic pump drains power from the engine all the time.) Ford reckons 90% of its cars will have electronic steering within three years.
It runs on battery power for about 40 miles, after which a small gasoline engine kicks in to power an electric motor that extends the EV range for up to 300 miles.

If value, not brain power, is the engine that drives markets, then the market's inherent nature militates against elite control.
The engine will power the Dodge Magnum sports wagon from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 6.5 seconds.
The result should be a cell that will, weight for weight, put out as much power as a diesel engine.
The newly-certificated Trent XWB engine will power the Airbus A350, while its Trent 1000-TEN will power Boeing's 787 Dreamliner from 2016.
Finally, a 1 kW electric radioisotope power supply running on Plutonium 238 (Pu-238) would kick in to power an ion thruster engine.
While it has struck a deal with Microsoft to allow user data to power its Bing search engine, it has made no such arrangement with rival Google.
