It has fog lights apparently. I'm very curious where they are located.

Yes technically a turbo charger is a form of supercharging (anyone that doubts that, check wikipedia), but do you know anyone that actually would use superchargning to refer to a turbo. Maybe "forced induction" but why not just say turbo charging.

Hate to break it to you, but the archaic term for turbocharger is in fact turbo-supercharger. It goes back to before WWII, when turbos were first used to improve the high-altitude performance of fighter planes. The term is now considered obsolete, but if you check Wikipedia, it redirects to the contemporary usage.

however, even "turbo-supercharger" is not "supercharger." Language and meaning of words change too, and this is no longer pre-WWII

Except that the pictures do not show any foglights and the covers are intact.

Maybe they're in a box in the trunk.
