I'd say someone has probably seen this before, but I'll put it up anyway.
Behold the glory that is the 4.7l supercharged V8 from the Koenigsegg CC 8S. 655hp of glory. Excuse me while I go get a tissue...

It is a bit overkill, and its not covered in sexy carbon fibre now is it?

Is it JUST supercharged? Or does it have my idea of a supercherger & turbo in one?
Damn sexy whatever it is. Wonder how much boost it has to run to get that output.

If you somehow managed to transversely mount that, I'd buy you a beer

yeah, why is the intercooler on sideways?
ill just assume it is in a mid engine car, i don't want to imagine that in a FWD.
i think CF cooler pipes are a great idea, cut down on heatsoak possibly.

i think it must be mid mount or something cause the air intake looks like its set up that way.
and look where the throttle is does that mean you can run a BOV? wont everyone be happy

Man I was looking at that photo and thinking what the funk??? A belt driven turbocharger and trying to find where the exhaust side of the turbo was  ...
Then I read Supercharded, but the charger looks remarkably like a turbo...

It's a centrifugal supercharger. They pretty much look like the inlet side of a turbo with a belt.

Nope its not a quad-cam Ford V8, they started off with one of those in testing, then moved to their own 4.7l dry-sumped version.
