Is the Petronas E01 for sale?

[InitialD]

Just curious if Petronas own car engine is for sale or not? It's a 2 litre 4 cylinder engine called E01. I wonder how much is it?

 

[ninja_iga]

[antonio]

[InitialD]

If only it's for sale.... or if only Proton took it up instead of going for CAMPRO.

Someone once told me that one of the SIC GTi with this engine was up for sale. Dunno true or not?

 

[antonio]

50million sure true wan...gila kaaaa..dun wan money meh????

 

[spyderslr]

50 million i can buy an enzo, carrera gt, zonda n slr n still haf got some xtra change in da bank to maintain them for few good years......

btw, proton should haf opt for E01W rather than campro.....100bhp/litre n 100nm/litre lehh, tats close to vtec territory....

The engine is too expensive to assemble.. Should Proton bought the rights, the cost to develop and sell the car would make it say a GTi in the regions of 200-300k a car.. I doubt its gonna do well in the market.. 2.0 NA 200 hp..
