Homologation images of Honda's V-three-cylinder 'V3R 900 E-Compressor,' fitted with an electric supercharger and currently under development, have leaked, revealing a near-production look. The pairing of a V3 engine with an electric supercharger is a novel approach that, if it reaches production, would make for a unique power unit.

V3 with an electric supercharger - just seeing those words on the page raises my heart rate. If they can apply lag-free boost from low rpm, it should produce a riding feel totally different from a conventional parallel-twin or V4. The fact that homologation images have already surfaced means production is already in sight. This is the part that gets me.

Homologation images being out means production's probably close, but a mass-produced supercharged V3, the price is going to be serious too.

What's the actual difference between an electric supercharger and a regular turbo?

Since it's spun by a motor instead of exhaust gas, boost kicks in from low rpm, there's fundamentally no lag.

A forced-induction sportbike reminds me of Kawasaki's H2, though that one's mechanical.

Electric forced induction on a V3, I really do love Honda's eccentric engines.

A V3 with an electric supercharger is an insanely eccentric idea. I get the logic behind eliminating boost lag though.

The mechanism looks too complex, sounds like it'd break, I can only see an expensive-maintenance future with electric forced induction.
