The Proton Satria Neo has been launched! Click the banner for an in-depth review of the car we’ve all known as the Proton Satria Replacement Model!
Seems Proton is working with Kleemann for it’s new 1.8 litre Campro to be found in the Satria Replacement Model. The 1.8 litre Campro engine will be developed to be fitted with Kleemann’s twin-screw supercharger.
The Kleemann supercharger managed to push up output from 306hp and 460Nm torque up to 506hp and 675Nm torque on a 5 litre Mercedes V8 engine without any engine modifications.
I’ve tried to look for other sources of this piece of news online but only found one in Bahasa Melayu by Johardy Ibrahim in Utusan Malaysia’s Korporat section, seems strange doesn’t it? Let’s treat this as an unconfirmed rumour for now.

The comments reflect skepticism and debate about the Proton Satria's rumored Kleemann supercharger upgrade, with many questioning its feasibility, benefits, and Proton's R&D direction. Several commenters dismiss the "Lotus Tuned" label as a gimmick, arguing that proper suspension tuning by experienced mechanics or aftermarket parts can achieve comparable or better handling without the hype. Others highlight Proton's quality control issues and criticize the company's strategic direction, including unproven modifications like supercharging the Campro 1.8 engine. A few acknowledge the potential of aftermarket tuning and the involvement of renowned tuning houses like Kleemann and Mercedes-Benz, but overall, opinions remain skeptical about the authenticity and practicality of the supercharger and the R3 project. The discussion is tinged with humor, skepticism, and a desire for more proven, reliable upgrades.
