This Gen2 is special edition released by proton in 2006...
The Proton GEN.2 MME Edition has the new headlamps but not the HID lights. Performance upgrades include an R3 Cat-Back Performance Exhaust System for the Campro engine to exhale more freely. The exhaust system comes with a stylish oval tip. R3 Performance Spark Plug Cables give your spark plugs extra juice to fire.

As usual, R3’s performance upgrades are all dyno proven and not just for show. The JPJ-certified, EURO 2 compliant exhaust system optimally an 8bhp increase to engine horsepower, while the spark plugs provide 3bhp. This should mean a total 12bhp increase over the stock Campro 1.6, which brings it up to 122bhp, but R3 has rated the GEN.2 MME at 118bhp.

The car also comes with a new set of 7-spoke wheels with 16 inch size, and these are wrapped with grilly Continental SportContact-1 tyres, similiar to the ones found on the Proton Satria Neo 1.6 liter. Peer into the space behind the wheel spokes and you will find the car has been fitted with R3 Performance Slotted Brake Discs.

As for handling, GEN.2 MME also comes with a performance spring kit, lowering the car by 25mm on average. There is also a front strut bar made from aluminium, helping with suspension strut deflection. Other than the strut bar and the spark plugs, the other addition to the engine bay is purely aesthetic - an alloy CamPro engine cover that comes finished in red.

Interior aesthetics are enhanced with a red R3 gearknob and R3 floor mats. The sound system comes with Bluetooth and iPod support. If you’re thinking you don’t need iPod support because you don’t have an iPod, you’ll be delighted to find the car also comes with an iPod Nano 1GB ready to be connected to the car audio system.


This is the racing spec of the R3 edition minus the bodykits aheh

Proton Campro turbo engine by 2010-2011

Proton managing director Datuk Syed Zainal Abidin told the Oman Economic Review that Proton was developing a turbocharged engine set for introduction by the years 2010 to 2011, just in time for a facelift of the 2009 Proton MPV which could see the introduction of this turbocharged engine.



The turbocharged engine would be in line with the current market trends of having a small displacement engine but forced inducted to produce the equivalent horsepower of a larger motor, usually with more torque, and more fuel efficiency. The engine will have the power output equivalent to a 2.0 liter engine. We could be looking at a 1.6 liter Campro turbo or Campro CPS turbo engine producing about 150 horsepower and perhaps 240Nm of torque.

Proton is also set to spend RM5 billion over the next 5 years on R&D efforts, which is about RM1 billion a year. Other efforts (as quoted in the report) include developing a small competitive car, acquiring diesel engines licensed from an international OEM (Fiat? Peugeot?) because of their popularity in markets such as India, hybrid and electric technologies, the possibility of a joint model with Lotus (spiritual successor to the Lotus Carlton based on a Proton maybe?), and the reduction of weight of Proton models.

Gen2 in the U.K

Gen.2 have been in the U.K for years n have been given great review.
here is what they have 2 say.

Review

"The GEN-2's cabin is a bit of a treat if you're used to acres of dull grey and boring details. It's styled by the Lotus Design Studio and features a set of vertical air-conditioning knobs on the centre console support and a nice metallic finish that together really are a cut above the class standard in terms of aesthetics.
The steering wheel is also massively more sporty looking... as is the instrument panel with its twin cowled binnacle and metallic look to the dials themselves. Everywhere you look there are neat design touches..."
RAC website

"I would just like to say that I have had four previous Protons and I am now the owner of a GEN-2. It is a really lovely car; powerful, economical and so comfortable with seats that are higher than usual. I do not know much about car mechanics, so I am glad to say that I have never been let down by a Proton. I will always go for Proton."

2008 New Proton Gen2 CPS & IAFM!!

As many readers will already know, an upgraded version of the Proton Gen2 with a more powerful engine has been produced at the Tanjung Malim plant for some months now. However, Malaysian customers have not been able to buy this version because the first market it was introduced to was Thailand. The move to launch a new model outside Malaysia was explained by Proton MD, Dato' Haji Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir, as being a 'strategic move' which was intended to demonstrate Proton's seriousness in growing its export markets, especially so in Thailand.

"Besides using the Bangkok Motorshow for the world premiere of our new Gen2, we also wanted to show our future customers in Thailand that we are serious about selling our cars in their market. The Thai market is an important one for Proton and it is a competitive one so we wanted to have a strong product to kick off our entry," he told MTM.

From Wednesday (March 5th) , Malaysians get the same new model which is available in two equipment levels with two different variants of the Campro engine. Both engine variants are 1.6 litres but feature additional hardware which addresses the awful torque curve that gave Proton's engine family a bad name when the Gen2 was originally launched, as well as boosts power output.

The Gen2 M-Line gets the Campro with the Intake Air-Flow Module (IAFM) which is also used in the New Saga's 1.3-litre engine. The IAFM does nothing to boost output but because it varies the airflow at lower speeds, it has eliminated the dip in the torque curve and made torque generation more linear. Factory tests show that acceleration is marginally improved while fuel consumption is pretty much the same as the previous engine without IAFM. Driveability should, however, be significantly different and drivers won't have to wait till 4000 rpm for some decent acceleration.

The Gen2 H-Line (available from March 25th) , which costs RM4,000 over M-Line, gets the real Campro engine, ie with the long-awaited Cam Profile Switching (CPS) mechanism. For those who are not familiar with CPS, it is a mechanism which allows the valve timing to be altered so that there can be strong performance at both ends of the rpm range; with conventional designs, engineers have usually had to make a choice between high performance at high rpm and sacrifice low rpm driveability or vice-versa. CPS, like the variable valve timing systems of Toyota and Honda, makes it possible to have 'the best of both worlds'. However, compared to the systems in the Japanese models, Proton's CPS (which was developed and patented by Lotus Engineering, a subsidiary of Proton) is a simpler mechanism without infinite variability making it cheaper to produce.

This engine, designated Campro CPS, also has a variable intake manifold (VIM) which works like IAFM but is more sophisticated in that it also interfaces with the Engine Control Unit (ECU), thereby having more precise operation.

The addition of these two pieces of hardware - which is actually what the Campro design was originally meant to be - boosts power by 13.4% to 93 kW (125 bhp) from 82 kW(110 bhp) and adds 2 Nm of torque to make it 150 Nm at a peak of 4500 rpm. At last, the muscular character is now available at the low end and given that the first Campro was impressive at the top end, if the same characteristics are now found at the low end, this will be a very powerful engine for its class.

The extra output improves acceleration though not to the 8 seconds that some clown in the forum said it would be. Proton's claims for the 0 to 100 km/h sprint are 10.6 seconds with the manual transmission and 13.2 seconds with the automatic transmission. The fuel consumption appears to be marginally higher, perhaps underlining the fact that 'you can't have your cake and eat it'; in other words, more power does mean more fuel needed. The top speed is 190 km/h for the manual and 185 km/h for the automatic… strangely, these are the same numbers for the Campro IAFM without CPS.

There are supposed to be some changes to the gear ratios but the specific changes could not be obtained at the time of writing.

With the new engines under the bonnet, Proton can now reposition the Gen2 as a sporty model - and the performance now justifies it. Dato' Syed Zainal Abidin said that the Gen2 was never really the Wira Replacement Model (WRM) that it has been made out to be earlier as the real WRM was the Persona.

Externally, there are cosmetic changes which freshen the looks of the Gen2. The front grille is larger and the headlights now have black bezels while a rear spoiler is standard. For the H-Line, there is additional skirting to give a more low-slung look. Both new versions also get alloy rims with new designs.

Inside, the quality of materials has been improved and the door handle has been redesigned. Leather upholstery is standard for the H-Line.

The other features of the new Gen2 are as before with 4-wheel disc brakes and 15-inch wheels (195/55 tyres) as standard. Proton is still not offering dual airbags across the range and the M-Line has only one airbag. Likewise, ABS + EBD are only available with the H-Line along with cruise control.

Acknowledging that the earlier Gen2 did have quality issues (it has been rare for a Proton CEO to admit that Proton products have faults), Dato' Syed Zainal gave assurances that all the feedback was thoroughly reviewed and many areas have been improved, including the infamous power window system. He is confident that the latest Gen2 will not draw the same sort of complaints that plagued the original one.

Second Genaration Campro

The Campro IAFM (Integrated Air-Fuel Module) is essentially a basic DOHC Campro engine equipped with a variable-length intake manifold, developed under a joint fast track programme which began in April 2005 by EPMB, Bosch and Proton. However, the IAFM differs from the VIM (Variable Inlet Manifold) for the Campro CPS engine in terms as follows:

1. The IAFM is a stand-alone module that can be fitted with a basic DOHC Campro engine whereas the VIM needs to work in conjunction with the CPS system in a Campro CPS engine.
2. The IAFM is operated by the engine vacuum while the VIM uses an ECU-controlled solenoid.

The Integrated Air-Fuel Module for the Proton Campro engine debuted in the second-generation Proton Saga, which was launched on 18 January 2008. We first heard of it back in October 2006 where it was still in advanced tooling stages, and ever since then everyone has been eagerly awaiting for the first Campros to roll out with the new air fuel module.

With the IAFM, the 1.3L engine used in the Proton Saga now produces 98 bhp (73 kW) @ 6,500 rpm. The maximum torque is slightly reduced to 113.2 N·m (83.5 ft·lbf); however, the engine has broader torque range and the noticeable torque dip in the basic DOHC Campro engine has been eliminated. However, the official brochure is only published with the familiar 94 bhp (70 kW) @ 6,000 rpm power and 120 N-m @ 4,000 rpm torque for consistency with other 1.3L Proton models.

Meanwhile, the output of the 1.6L version of the IAFM engine which debuted in the 2008 Proton Gen-2 M-Line produces 110 bhp (82 kW) @ 6,500 rpm of horsepower and 148 N·m (109 ft·lbf) of torque, and the torque dip around 2,500-3,500 rpm has been eliminated.
