The Difference Between A Turbocharger and Supercharger Simplified

A turbocharger is simply an engine component that uses a turbine powered by your engines exhaust to drive a compressor that provides more air into your engine. Similarly, a supercharger is directly driven by your engine. They both allow engines to burn fuel more efficiently while delivering more power and decreased fuel consumption vs naturally aspirated engines producing the same power. Also, turbochargers provide more power over a period after accelerating, while superchargers provide more boost immediately when you start to accelerate.
The new 2014 Cadillac CTS and XTS both have available turbo models: Three-Way New Cadillacs.
