interesting to see the single turbo route, for the same reasons audi did this makes the intake charge temperature much lower, therefore increasing the density of the air and hence more air burnt = fuel economy, it will probably be a bit laggy, but it looks like they have positioned the turbo like 2014 F1 regs, so they will have the option to install a small motor-generator to spin the turbo up to speed (anti-lag) and also generate a bit of power when running steady state.......not to mention all the other anti-lag options available........otherwise it looks the part to me........I'm sure the single turbo route will also really tidy up the aero signature too, giving almost un-interrupted flow out the back of the car over the diffuser.
