Supercharger question
What is meant by the supercharger being an electromagnetic supercharger? Just curious as to how the beast functions......
Also on this subject, at what throttle position does the supercharger normally kick in? Does it only operate at 1/2 to full throttle or less?

Hope this helps...

To achieve the greatest possible efficiency, engineers designed the supercharger to cut in via a magnetic clutch as a function of engine speed and load conditions. Jointly developed with specialists at the Japanese company IHI, the supercharger is not continuously driven. Under partial load conditions, the 3.2-litre V6 operates purely as a naturally aspirated engine. The supercharger only goes into instant action when the driver wishes to accelerate. There are many advantages to this solution: thermal efficiency, fuel consumption and noise/exhaust emissions all benefit.
The load- and rpm-dependent activation procedure is carried out by an electromagnetic coupling which obtains its control impulses directly from the newly developed, fully-electronic Bosch ME 2.8.1 engine management system. The driver feels and hears nothing of the supercharger activation. Torque build-up is extremely smooth and the supercharged V6 shows its muscle very evenly, with a surge of power already on tap from just above idle speed.

Vadim...? Is this accurate?
