2009 Annual Report - ChartNexus

Saga 1.6L Taxi
In line with the new regulation that requires all
Malaysian taxis to be powered by engines above
1500cc, PROTON successfully developed a new product
variant, the Saga 1.6L, during the financial year. The
Saga 1.6L features the CamPro 1.6L IAFM engine,
which is well-suited for the demanding requirements
of taxis. This variant will offer the country’s taxi fleet
a viable option to replace ageing vehicles.
Satria Neo CPS
“Sporty, Youthful and Power” were the ideals
promised by the enhanced Satria Neo CPS, which was
unveiled in the first quarter of 2009. These ideals were
delivered in the form of a brand new performanceoriented
CamPro CPS engine, which pushes 125
horsepower or a 13.6% increase in output over the
standard engine.
In addition, the Neo CPS also features improved
drivability, whereby the engine adapts to its user’s
driving style by automatically switching on the
“Power Mode” when required. Coupled with the
stylish body kit reminiscent of the original Satria GTi,
as well as “race car” trappings of red-accent leatherwrapped
steering wheel, leather seats, door trims
and sporty gear knob, the Neo CPS has become an
instant hit amongst young and trendy Malaysians. To
cap it off, the Neo CPS proudly bears the “Handling by
Lotus” badge at its rear to show its proven pedigree
in international race events including the Merdeka
Millenium Endurance Race (MME) and the Asian
Touring Car championship.
