The latest 2010 Proton Lekir are powered either along a 2.0-liter turbocharged social unit or a 1.6-liter locomotive on some 220-ponies (167 kilowatt) .Proton looked into its own car bin and in particular,Lotus, which it acquired back in 1994, as the Lekir is essentially a rebagded Europa coupe.
Another concept vehicle based on a real production vehicle will shine under the spotlights of the 2010 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show. It’s another small sportscar based on the Lotus Europa and it’s called the Lekir Concept.
The concept is meant to measure the response a Proton sports car would get from the customers and the international auto press. The original Europa was powered by a 2-liter turbo charged engine, tuned to produce 225 hp and 300 Nm of torque. The Europa was capable of a top speed of 143 mph
Well, actually it was, except that the Malaysian carmaker Proton was a rebadged and renamed with 2011 Proton Lekir Concept. Given the partnership between the two companies that figure by the end of the European production lines in Europe, Lotus, a new market for his sports car on the market in search will greet with open arms, even though 2011 Proton Lekir Concept was a rebadged under the local brand.
That is what Proton and Malaysia entered the picture. Unlike the European spec Europe that came with the Opel-source 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that produced 200 horsepower, the 2011 Proton Lekir Concept powered by 1.6-liter engine with a power CamPro figures must be directly in line with naturally aspirated.
