Turbo-Charged Protons By Late 2011

Proton plans to introduce a turbo-charged version of its 1.6-litre Campro engine for the Exora MPV in the third quarter of this year.

Proton Ceo Syed Zainal was quoted saying , “This turbo-charged engine will also be in future Proton models,”  adding that the company was also finalising a project team for its small car collaboration with Nissan which our sources say will be based on the Proton EMAS concept which was showcased at the Geneva Motor show in 2010.

He also said the Proton Exora hybrid was in the final stages of testing and validation in Britain.“There is another two weeks to go. After that, we will deliver the cars to the Malaysian government and selected customers for fleet testing. If everything goes well, the Exora hybrid will be sold to the public next year.”
