Supercharged engines are internal combustion engines that use a device called a supercharger to increase the amount of air and fuel entering the engine. This process boosts the engine's power output without significantly increasing its size. Superchargers are typically driven by a belt connected to the engine, allowing them to provide immediate power enhancement. The main advantage of supercharged engines is improved performance, especially in terms of acceleration and overall power. They are commonly found in high-performance vehicles, such as some models of Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Corvette, where extra horsepower is essential for speed and responsiveness.
