campro is under seng (small engine)project which is undertaken by lotus, and it took 2 years to develop it which comprises 2 variant 1.3 n 1.6 using same engine design for 2 displacements to save cost,and it already cost them nearly 2 billions. It is in lotus proactive magazine,but need to search an old one.

It is develop to accept cps n vim tech,but dunno why tm introduce it too early before cps n vim been coorporate into it, but old story,nothing much can do.

While cfe is under pheonix project which started on 2008,which supposed to develop cfe together with new trans(during that time, beside manual,they opt for 5at,6at, twin clutch n cvt,and at last,they choose cvt due to cost versus performance), and the idea of iafm+ originally came from the engineer that involve with developing cfe. They mentioned that why not create an n/a variant from cfe,which they believe they can do that within the same budget.

And there are family y engine program for future engine, but since it too costly n need colloboration to reduce development cost, it is still pending,but initial work has been done. Since prtn has new owner,dunno whether thid project will continue or not. Initially plan to produce 1.2,1.5 n 1.8 gdi engine with twin pulse turbo.

Since colloboration with mmc still not finalised,n prtn has new owner,so hopefully,if everything run according to plan.maybe in 2014@2015 we can se this project being fruitful,but for the moment,it is just only a plan.

Everything need money,hopefully new owner can provide that if they want prtn to improve.

Hybrid project is already run, but many things need to workout before release to masses. They are really careful nowadays coz dont want trouble in the future.

Even p321a,it was table at the same time during development of exora. The initial stage of design n engeneering already slowly done during that time. And the original design send out to italdesign coz dsz want prtn to be a serious car maker,even many idea from pwrtrain comes from dr wolfgang(ex bmw man) himself,and p321a is also under him. Thats why getrag n punch been selected as trans supplier coz they did suply trans to bmw before. Many that involve in this project also have done work with bmw before.

Sorry, too much off topic.
