I've recently browsing this very interesting car review website and was reading an interesting new project by our national car maker PROTON. this latest engine is to turbocharge the existing regular campro engine to produce an output similar to 2.0 liter engine power capacity. (the regular campro is 1.6 liter). turbocharged engine, a 150 horse power figure would probably be accompanied by 220Nm to 240Nm (2.0 liter engine normally aspirated around 140 to 150 horsepower.)
now..whats interesting is that a group of 70 engineers from proton were sent to lotus engineering in the uk. this is a good afford since lotus is one of the best carmaker around and fully own by proton, but even lotus cars used engine from toyota hehehehehe... i'm guessing both of them are learning something new...
the engine is due 2011..
more information go to www.paultan.org or http://paultan.org/topics/cars/malaysian-makes/proton/
p/s: the newscaster mention the output horsepower is 1600... is she crazy or what
