Someone once told me some times ago that CAMPRO actually came from Mercedes design library. He claimed to know that fact from someone involve in the birth of this CAMPRO engine by Lotus and Proton. He also claimed the 1.6 litre initial design could squeeze 180Nm easily as oppose to the current 148Nm of torque. That's even more torque than the new 1.8 Civic! If that so, why waste the power? Anyone can verify this? I wonder if this is true or he's just talking bulls to me. A bit off topic. Someone once told me some times ago that CAMPRO actually came from Mercedes design library.
