Those aren’t new either, they’ve been around since the late 70s at the very least.

Actually, this type of supercharger technology dates back to WWII. What is relatively new - for a 60 year old fart - is the use of ready to install centrifugal superchargers in streetable cars as power adders in in the upper end of the RPM range of an engine. Which, going back to where this started, you can have a direct injected engine that putts down the highway at 65MPH that is using very little fuel and when it is matted to pass or accelerate can increase it's HP dramatically.
