Nice.

Basically the same as the KERS in F1 & Rally cars. Won't be long before thats in a lot of High end cars and in about 5-10 years time it will be available for us mere mortals  :party: :party:

Would be great if you could install the system now. Imagine how much fun that would be at the Traffic Light grand Prix :laugh:

I Had been forecasting this for a while    :star: :star: :star:

fascinating couple of pages in RaceTech Mag about the car, and KERS/Hybrid Systems in general.

I'm giving it 3 years before we see a red "Turbo" or "Boost" button on our MFSW's

Probably ferrari first then mainstream manufacturers later

William F1 are ploughing a load of dosh into this and they're making incredible progress, battery technology is improving aided by a massive increase in revenue and stock values after the Gulf of Mexico BP Affair.

Imagine a supercharged 1.2 litre 3 cylinder Golf GTI with KERS equivalent to 300BHP and 450 lb/ft torque for overtaking when you press the red button!!

WOOOOOHOOOOO!

That would be great Dave - so long as the interval between KERS availability through remplenishment isn't 2 hours of driving  :signLOL:
