Campro turbo? wtf!!! December 13, 2008

Proton has suddenly felt the peer pressure from all the leading car makers in the world like VW and Fiat to develop a small CC turbo charged engine. The advantage of such engine is that it would produce relatively big power from a small capacity engine like VW has done with their T-fsi engine’s and fiats turbo jets. Most probably this would be using the already existing 1.6 campro CPS engine and proton said it would be introduce about 2010-2011. This all good in words but i rather doubt proton. No offense but i kind of like proton because I’m Malaysian and i have a soft spot for protons but proton hasn’t got the reputation to develop precision products. Look at their build quality over the pass years my friends. I know it has been slowly improving but for the art of turbo charging, improvements its just not enough as precision is really needed or we will be having a campro exploding galore by then hahaha. Anyway if they pull it off well, I solute them but as for now? God bless proton… LOL

     UPDATES:    It seems like proton also wants to add a turbo diesel engine during that time period …. this is more WTF… should’nt they invest in a energy source such as fuel cells or hybrids? haiz….
