I’ve managed to obtain photos that show a closer view of the new Proton Turbo engine that our King and Queen previewed at Lotus in the UK just a little more than a week ago. The photo doesn’t really tell us much but I think there are some details that have been revealed just by looking at the engine.
We get to see the top of the engine, the intake, as well as abit of the turbocharger peeking out from behind the block. The top of the engine looks slightly different from the Campro and Campro CPS engines. It looks more similiar to the Campro engine though because of the shape of the spark plug cover, but there are some minor differences in shapes. I’m not sure what the Campro IAFM looks like without the engine cover.
I’ve heard many times before that the new Proton Turbo engine will not have functions such as CPS which mean higher costs. Forced induction that is properly tuned can provide sufficient torque over a wide RPM spread thus you do not have to do funky things to improve airflow such as variable valve lift or timing. The turbocharged Campro engine that we saw in the Proton Exora Prestige earlier this year was also based on a regular Campro and not the Campro CPS.
Finally, I think we gotta also keep an open mind that this might not even be the production Campro Turbo engine in the first place. It may be just a bolt-on prototype similiar to the one in the Exora Prestige Turbo. But it sure is nice getting to see one part of what the Royal Family managed to see. After all, Proton is our national carmaker and whether you love them or hate them, I find that almost everyone wants to know everything about them!

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the Proton Turbo engine and related developments are generally optimistic, praising Proton's R&D efforts and the progress in engine technology, including VVT and turbocharging. Many anticipate that the turbo engine will boost power and performance, with some expecting 150-200hp, and hope for improved reliability and fuel efficiency. There is enthusiasm for Proton's move away from Mitsubishi transmissions toward ZF or other advanced gearboxes. However, skeptics express concerns about whether the turbo technology will be durable and question if Proton's development efforts are merely superficial or buzz. Additionally, discussions often veer off-topic into debates about car pricing, taxes, and brand perception, reflecting Malaysians' pride and frustrations. Overall, there's cautious hope for Proton's future with new engine tech but also calls for real improvements and better confidence in reliability.
