Audi is working on a twin turbo V6 TDI but with a twist. One of the turbos is electrically driven. Audi claims a quicker response and more torque at lower RPM, "distinct boost in performance." Supposedly the electricity recovered during coasting will be used to power the electric turbo. This makes sense as this assist would be most needed after a slowdown.
