One of the very cool things F1 is doing next year is there new turbo DI V6 engines. The new 2014 F1 engines will have a MGHU (Motor Generator Heat Unit) that will produce electricity for storage and on demand power through a MGU-K unit (120kW max) added to the ICE power unit with the engine at a fuel limited max of 100kg/hr.

These new engines will be more of a N/A DI version with state of art fuel
"spray guided direct injection". So they will have the efficiency of today's N/A engines with the power of a turbo charger. The turbo will not just add power but also will help with engine delta p. I think we will see some of the most advance BSFC to date.

This could be a game changer as far as what it will bring to the OEM level. Just last week Honda said they are going to get involved.
