Shell V-Power Racing, the high-performance fuel used by Ferrari in Formula One (F1) races, will be available from tomorrow, at more than 300 Shell stations within Peninsular Malaysia to motorists who desire power and exhilaration from their driving experience.  As the first in Asia to launch, the new Shell V-Power Racing has ninety-nine per cent of the components found in the fuel used in Ferrari cars during F1 races and is designed to give that immediate acceleration, response and sustained power.

Contrary to popular belief, not all fuels are the same.  Shell V-Power Racing is the only high-performance fuel in Malaysia and is a result of close to 60 years of Shell's partnership with Ferrari.  This long-term collaboration has helped Shell advance track performance fuels that have enhanced consumer fuels.

"Shell's unrivalled expertise and exclusive partnership with Ferrari has enabled us to provide Malaysian motorists, the same power we have harnessed from our experience at the F1 race track," declared Tuan Haji Mohzani Abdul Wahab, Managing Director, Shell Trading (M) Sdn Bhd.

Hmm I might try it if it's the same price as the current VPower. I wonder what mileage will be like hehe.

Ethanol has a very high octane(more than 100). Any ethanol powered car can be more powerful than a conventional petrol car.

I think if you have a Turbo this V-Power Racing would benefit you greatly. Who the hell needs 100 RON?

Is it more expensive?

Yeah, I was refering to most of us here.
calvin, you alread have it in your tank?

I also forgot to add, in addition to JDM cars, all those who has done conversions (GSR, EVO, B16A/B/C, B18C, etc etc) will also need RON100. They are afterall driving JDM engines. So there's actually a rather large crowd with every converted car needing or rahter, been thirsty for it for a long time.

Me.
Because right now I've been using VPower on my Iswara and I'm driving at 4000 - 5500 rpms.

With RON 100, I believe I could rev it up to 6500 rpms or even 7500 rpms .
I'm looking forward to use this fuel.
Beware of my sleeper "stock" Iswara 

i just pumped in petronas full tank the night before yesterday.....
have to wait for 10 days more....

but i think this ron100 fuel benefit most on high compression engine rite?

same like ordinary vpower...

It only benefits those that require it otherwise it would be no use in normal engines.

The focus of V-Power Racing is not just the 100RON... Things like friction Modifier and other things they put in which we might not know will also affect the normal engine peformance.

guys... Malaysian V-Power Racing is only 97 RON

oh its the latest from shell. i thought they change the name.. haha.. i already pump it yesterday.. feel no difference... maybe because i always pump v power...

i dun think it is ron 100.
in australia they got sale ron 100 even in singapore their v-power is ron 98 but in msia, we still stick with ron 97.

may not be 100 octane in malaysia's v-power racing. the additives may vary against region. of coz i hope it is 100 octane, as i am loyal customer of v-power.

Actually red is a lousy colour to pick for the expensive petrol..cos RON92 is also red in colour... some sneaky petrol stations might make it v power red + a bit of 92

Then your car will be very very Powderful!!! Bang Bang bang...

Then you can sue them to fix your car + fix some extra stuff + probably some free petrol...

Shell did not have any RED fuel (RON92) other than VPower Racing

Which V-power are you talking about? V-Power Blue or V-Power Racing Red?

The new Shell petrol continues to have a RON97 octane rating which Tuan Haji Mohzani said is regulated by the government. The price of RM2.15 is unchanged from before even though it is more expensive to produce than the previous V-Power. The extra cost of production is not entitled to the government subsidy which is why it costs more at the pump.

1- cost cutting

i now check , it is RON97 only . just now i went to pump , no longer lah , not more powerful tan v-power . but pretty smoother power delivery .

Oh well.. too bad for the JDM boys.. their precious engines will have to continue to run without the precious RON100 petrol.

Maybe your old petrol is still being fed into your engine.

You can always get those octane boosters from Ace Hardware. Ahahaha...joking

What's the full price??

bro sleepwalker, if those JDM cars need them 100 to go full potential, where do they get them?

mind telling what is RON?

and how does higher rating RON(RON 100) benefits the car?

You can get octane boosters in any accessory shops or even make them yourself. Plenty of recipes online. However it's just too troublesome to use it everytime you pump a full tank and most just don't bother.

Bro Sleepwalker,

Octane boosters can range from RM20 plus to RM70 plus, from STP, Outlaw, Penzoil, etc. Any differences between these brands because the price gap is pretty wide and there's no mention of RON ratings either on the packaging. How effective are those octane boosters anyway? I've tried STP but sadly, no effect at all but it was RM20 plus only. 

at mobil station

they have two type
1 = 1.88 (which i pump the most before it cheap and same km if i  compared 1.92 one)
2 = 1.92
what is what?

how do i know what ron that i need to use? if i fill the wrong one..will it spoil my car?

RON 100 is nothing compare to the E85...... RON 125........

btw only high compression or extremely thick air fuel ratio would benefit from this high ron number fuel.............

so i guess most 4 stroke high rev bikers would be cheers........finally they are getting what they want........

For Myvi, recommended is 96 so yeah, better use the 1.92 petrol.

Urs is K3VET isit? Stock myvis all can run on 90+ lah. No point using expensive petrol..1.88 one will do.
