Thats a centrifugal supercharger, like a Rotrex or Powerdyne although I can't tell which make it is. Basically a turbo compressor on a gearbox. Good for mild amounts of boost with performance response much like a turbo - laggier than a blower like an Eaton for example.
The header tank and power steering reservoir are obviously moved to the opposite side to make room for what I'm guessing is a single W12 airbox feeding the supercharger. I doubt they have moved the power steering pump. The supercharger appears to be sitting above it.
The pipework to the intercooler is ingenious. They have used flat tubes through the top of the radiator panel down to the intercooler sitting in front of the AC rad. That shortens the overall path and means there's no messy plumbing under the headlights. Nice idea.
464hp mentioned in the comments which is about what I would expect. The 40V would probably do that on less than half a bar of boost without internal changes.
