Supercharged performance cars are going extinct – these few remain

Supercharged performance cars were once a staple of the enthusiast world, prized for their instant throttle response and unmistakable mechanical character. Unlike turbocharged engines that build boost gradually, superchargers deliver power the moment you press the accelerator. But in 2025, that experience is rapidly disappearing. As automakers chase efficiency targets and electrification, superchargers have been pushed aside in favor of turbos and electric motors.
