i was hoping that they can develop more cfe engine.let say 1.8 or 2.0 cfe with 160-180hp for pedana replacement. or maybe 1.0 cfe for savvy replacement.

not sure either p1 going to use e01 straight since it's an old engine (emission restriction). maybe use the tech and redesign the whole engine.
nway, tubo might be thirsty, but the main advantage is cheaper roadtax. for example pug vti and thp..thp is more thirsty than vti (fc around 1.8- 2.0L car), but way cheaper roadtax than 2.0 car.

the project started in 96..was planned to use it by 2005. cfe is not really ori campro engine. a bit smaller displacement, different vvt mechanism compared to cps. it is thristy because of the turbo..proton nowhere near vw tsi or bmw prince thp..but still a modern engine.

maybe he mean direct injection turbo. so far cfe dont use direct injection.

yeap..just give them few more years. maybe they can come out with new engine based on petronas engine. never own a cfe proton..but is it thristy? i mean compared to 1.8-2.0 car.

except for the turbocharged term..hahaha.

hurmm..to me not bad la.
