Went to town today to register paper for this coming term and also to Proton Edar showroom to see the latest Proton model Proton Gen 2 ( Generation 2 ) which was officially launched yesterday. Actually ive already saw this model last year. A friend of mine forwarded it to me.It was called WRM ( Wira Replacement Model ).The sleek five door aeroback was completely designed and built in Malaysia.The car was fitted with a Malaysia designed Campro engine. I was informed by the Proton staff that the engine was jointly developed by Proton and Lotus Engineering and could accelerate from zero to 100kph in only 10.5 seconds.

Hmm but the car design look very similar to KIA Spectra ehh.For the time being they only launch 1.6 litre manual transmission model and automatic transmission model later in the year. As for the interior design, it was design by the Lotus Design studio from UK. hmm little bit futuristic when comes to the dashboard design. What i like bout the interior was the handbrake.It looks like the holder for the Sword heh :).
