The WRC Focus has a really cool system to do that, it actually shuts off all the unnecessary stuff to allow a lot smaller alternator for less HP loss. The load switching scheme is really, really cool...
I don't remember what happens when the field collapses on an alternator, it may become a big load, so you may have to design the system from the ground up if you want to do that. That's most likely what Suzuki did for the little tin can swift.. Kinda funny to not have enough power to spin an alternator.. =)
I don't think Honda does any alternator shut off, just air conditioning.
