"Whilst Mazda's engineers are quick to deny that they will produce a turbocharged version of the RENESIS engine, principally because of the effect that process has on exhaust emissions, they do acknowledge that they are working on a supercharged version. This supercharged prototype is officially limited to 206kW, but produces an incredible torque, said to be some 375Nm at 4000rpm. Our sources also tell us that the supercharged version will in fact churn out 238kW, and in racing form will be easily capable of producing 298kW (400bhp)..."
206 kW = 276 Hp
238 kW = 320 Hp
298 kW = 400 Hp...
Very impressive indeed!!!

thats awesome! Thats what I was thinking about supercharging.
They have never done that from the factory. I wounder what kind the'll use? It'd better have an aftercooler.
