Apparently Merc say the 43 is equipped with an electric exhaust-gas turbo similar to what it uses in F1.
As standard, the SL 43 is equipped with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger, which, Mercedes says, is a world first for a series-production vehicle.
The technology, which is the same as that used on Mercedes-AMG F1 cars, adds a 4cm-thick electric motor to the turbocharger shaft. It drives the turbocharger directly, which, Mercedes claims, “significantly improves immediate response from idle speed and across the entire engine speed range.”
