Why aren't there any supercharged V6s, 4cylinders, or rotaries?

Why aren't there any supercharged V6s, 4cylinders, or rotaries? I see plenty of these turbo'd, and plenty of supercharged V8s.

They exist, have you tried actually looking?

Miatas, while not a common power adder do get supercharged and Mercedes have supercharged several of their engines.

Rotaries in general respond better to turbos since Superchargers have some parasitic losses, and its a finicky engine to begin with.

Well, that would be because turbos are better than superchargers.

Pontiac GTP's had a Supercharged V6

I hate to stick up for the inane shitposter, but he's right.
Exception of course is if you subjectively prefer the way a supercharged engine behaves.

>>15384375
Or if your car only has a supercharger kit availble for it.

Fabbing up turbo systems are PITA if the engineering hasn't been done for you.

There's an Audi S4 with a supercharged V6.

VT-VY? Commodores and WH Statesmans have an optional 3.8 supercharged V6

I think Lotus supercharged a Toyota V6 for one of their cars

"PITA"? Never heard that one, what is it "pretty insane to accomplish"? "Possibly irritating totally asinine"? "Painfully inferior to all"?

Shame as they would've made a neat sports sedan in the nineties.

first gen mr2s came super charged

Supercharging a 4 cyl is much more of a classic British thing to do.
