Proton : The POWER OF 1, March 14-18th 2012 Bukit Jalil Stadium

Proton largest ever outdoor showcase starts today at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium!

A specially constructed mini circuit in the middle of the event site allows the public to catch Alister McRae demonstrating the power and performance of the APRC-winning Satria Neo S2000 rally car, among other races.

The F1 team with the Lotus.

Watch the video of this powerful beast! I got a video of the new P3-21A too, but that will have to wait till I get home tonight!

Teaser on the left is thenewP3-21A. This was a demo for the media, pitting thenewP3-21Awith another Proton car.

The Engineering & Technology exhibition is cool, showcasing their EV models, of which Im personally very interested in (of you have been following my automotive adventures lately, you would have noticed that I loved hybrids and environmentally friendly vehicles).

Media were taken for a tour of the area with the Proton team.

This station shows the sketching work done by Proton engineers on the design process. Seriously cool, and I do wonder if its for real!

At another booth a Proton rep explained to me about the 3D scanner and the Proton mini prototype. Frankly, he could be speaking in Mars language, cos I couldnt fathom much. Anyhow, I was totally distracted with the EV vehicles!

More games to entertain both the big and small kids. Yes, the Proton Power of 1 exhibition is not only for the car guys, but also ideal for an interesting and different day out for the family.

This is my first time seeing a skeletal frame of a car so bare.

Educational yes?

Here is the EV vehicles. One is the Exora REEV REEV (Range Extender Electric Vehicle)and another the Saga EV.

The middle panel shows the battery usage (refer to picture after the Saga EV).

The Saga (EV).

The middle panel shows this:

Both vehicles are not hybrids, but EV Electric Vehicle.

Below are the boards that explains it all.

How the EV works. Interesting yes?

.. charging stations along all roads and in parking lots around the city. Well, I hope this is a reality in the near future!

I took a walk outside and came across the Innovation Cars Area.

Some of the cars on display was pretty, ermm, innovative!
