Proton has a small R&D team working on how to adapt the Campro engine for marine usage in jet boats. They are currently marinising the engine and matching impeller sizes.
The engines have also been mated to jet turbines for usage in small boats.
Supposedly this exercise is not aimed at increasing sales revenue but mainly to increase Proton’s knowledge on engine design.
This project could give Proton some knowledge on waterproofing an engine properly. Campro for offroad 4WD trucks anyone?

same thing-lah proton…. if they can do better ni car…they should good already..
why must R&D in marine engine ?
LOL, If land cannot works, go for Sea lah, lesser competitions.
I for one think it's an encouraging sign.
In the US there's massive amount of research invested in basic sciences, which does not directly relate to a specific end product, but the knowledge gained from such research nevertheless contributes to the development of products spanning different application areas. It is conceivable that the marine engine research project will helps Proton design better engines.
It's fair to criticise Proton, but I think a Pavlovian negative response to every Proton initiative serves no useful purpose.
At least when asked, how much they invested in R&D, they got some figure to give… i think trucks should be fine for campro… at least sound and other quality issues wouldnt be of much problem with them… jes raw power… hahaha…

" If land cannot works, go for Sea lah, lesser competitions. "
and when sea cannot work, good la, SINK faster. :)
proton jerung
^_^, Even better, after sink, blame it on the Pirates.
agree with awok2k ….. not to pirates olny.. but sea water makes it rust an also tsunami…
and december proton jerung is NOT nice name…
proton sotong.. or proton tongkol…. (ikan tongkol)
Huh, is like that one mah. Leave ur engine at the port for 1 week and then come and collect it later. LOL
