Hello geng,

Sebelum nie kita pernah bincang tentang sejarah Proton Saga kan? Kali nie kita share info lak pasal keter Proton Wira lak.

Ok, sebagaimana yang korang sedia maklum, Proton Wira nie dibina dengan berasaskan model Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GLXI model tahun 1991. Model nie la yang beutl-betul boleh dikatakan model alternatif yang ditawarkan Proton selain model Iswara. Model Proton Wira dilancarkan selepas hampir 8 tahun Proton setakat kuarkan model generasi Proton Saga jer.

Objektif utama pengeluaran Proton Wira ialah untuk menyediakan satu lagi model alternatif Proton selain Proton Saga Iswara dan gak untuk memperkenalkan penggunaan fuel injection system dalam industri keter nasional. Sebenarnya sebelum Proton Wira memang ada model Iswara Cares yang guna fuel injection gak.

Proton Wira dilancarkan pada 21 Mei 1993 [time aku baru jer darjah 5 sekolah rendah] dengan pilihan 2 displacement iaitu model 1.6 XLi dan gak 1.5 GL. Model 1.6 XLi ialah model full-spec dengan enjin SOHC 16 injap 1.6L (4G93) yang pakai fuel injection dan hanya terdapat dalam transmisi automatik 4 kelajuan. Model 1.5 GL lak time tu still pakai enjin Magma Megavalve lagi dan still pakai karburetor. Model 1.5 GL auto lak setakat pakai gearbox 3-speed auto, tak macam 1.6 XLi yang pakai 4-speed auto.

Tahun 1994 lak, option Wira Aeroback diperkenalkan tapi model 1.6 XLi Aeroback lak leh ader option model manual transmission. Tak lama kemudian, model 1.3 GL yang pakai karburetor ditambah dalam keluarga Wira. Wira 1.3 GL adalah varian paling cikai pasal takder takometer.

Time tahun 1995 lak, model Wira 1.8 EXi DOHC yang power giler ditambah di dalam keluarga Wira. Tu la dier model DOHC yang pertama kuaran Proton. Selain tu, model Wira Diesel 2.0D. Untuk menarik minat pembeli supaya beli Wira Diesel nie, kerajaan melancarkan tawaran diskaun road tax 50% untuk sumer model kenderaan diesel yang lepas emission standard Euro 1 (sekarang dinaikkan kepada Euro 2 lak) termasuk la Wira Diesel. Tapi paham-paham jer laa... keter diesel nie payah sket sales kat Malaysia [melainkan kalau teksi Wira] pasal kurang pikap berbanding keter petrol. Lagipun setau aku teknologi commonrail diesel masih belum diperkenalkan lagi kat Malaysia nie. Serentak dengan tu, sikit perubahan kosmetik dikenakan pada gril depan dan gak lampu belakang serta keter Wira kuaran selepas 1995 sumer pakai fuel injection.

Tahun 1997 lak, kereta kesejuta yang dikuarkan oleh Proton adalah model Proton Wira 1.8 kaler gold. Lepas dah lama sangat kat dalam market, kaler grafik meter ditukar pada tahun 2000 dan model Wira 1.6 Limited Edition dikuarkan. Bila Proton Waja 1.6 dah dilancarkan, model Wira 1.6 dah stop production tapi still ada lagi dalam pasaran eksport.

Projek Wira Replacement Model dimulakan pada tahun 1999 untuk merekabentuk model keter yang menggantikan model Wira, dan akhirnya dilancarkan pada Februari 2004 dengan nama Proton Gen.2. Dengan kuarnya model Gen.2 maka keter Wira akhirnya stop production selepas 11 tahun dikuarkan. Tapi sebelum Proton Wira pupus sepenuhnya, model Wira Aeroback 1.5 yang still remaining tu ditune untuk menaikkan 7% kuasa kuda dan dikenakan sikit perubahan grafik meter dan gak gearshift panel dan model yang terhad tu dinamakan Wira SE.

Sekarang nie tak silap aku dah takder jual lagi Wira kat kedai-kedai Proton Edar mahupun Eon, kalau Gen.2 ada laa. Kalau ader yang still teringin nak pakai Wira tu kena cari kedai keter second hand laa jawabnyer. Aper pun, Proton Wira nie melambangkan revolusi industri automotif nasional daripada zaman karburetor kepada zaman fuel injection.

Wira Replacing Model



Finally, Proton has introduced its latest model. No, it is not the expected Wira replacement even though its internal codename is WRM (Wira Replacement Model). Rather, it is an entirely new model to add to the Proton range.

Called Gen.2 (for generation two), the new model strongly underlines the future direction for an entirely new generation of cars.

In explaining the new thinking at a recent media briefing, Proton chief Tengku Tan Sri Dr Mahaleel Tengku Ariff said: 揥e are Proton and we dare to challenge boundary thinking.

揟he Gen.2 represents this new and changing face of Proton and Proton cars. It抯 all about wanting to change, setting new standards and improving on where we have been over the last 18 years.

Like the Waja, Lotus presence is everywhere, from the design to research and development (R&D. This is a logical step as Lotus is a part of Proton and is a leading design and development centre as well as a sports car producer in its own right.

Proton says the concept of Gen.2 is a five-door aeroback with the emphasis on elegance, sophistication and sportiness packaged at no extra cost to the customer. It does, however, embody the transformation of Proton from a conventional manufacturer to a creator of exciting and passionate products.

Like the Waja, Gen.2 is essentially a Malaysian car designed from the ground up. The difference is that everything is done by Proton and Lotus and, thus, there are no royalties to be paid to other car manufacturers.

The media briefing three days before the official launch included a test drive at the test circuit at Proton抯 Shah Alam facility.

Undoubtedly the "wow

Ergonomics play its part through the raised structures of the dashboard and positioning of the instruments and controls and dials that give the driver and front passenger a clear field of vision, reach and accessibility.

All these were achieved using SAFEWORK, the latest three-dimensional and virtual ergonomics software programme. With it Proton interior stylists were able to present new levels of sophistication through simplicity. For example, the use of circular instrument dials brings the elegance of a chronograph arrangement that further endorses the car抯 sporty character. Dials for the air-con controls and hi-fi are vertically stacked within easy reach and recognition and to give a unique look.

By eliminating the bulky conventional dashboard, this gives way for a more curvaceous look that also creates a sensation of space. As a result there is more legroom and the combination of light natural colours for the seats and trimmings enhances the car抯 more lively and spacious ambience.

Another clear hint of its sporty nature is the body-hugging front seats with integrated headrests. Completing the Lotus in-car experience is the very pronounced door trims incorporating thick and ergonomically-positioned door grabs.

Powering the Gen.2 is Campro, Malaysia's and Proton's first four-cylinder engine design.

It is of te latest modular concept which means it is easy to change engine capacities without a redesign. Engine capacities for the Gen.2 are 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre. The car will be launched with only the 1.6l version available initially.

It is a fuel-injected 16-valve DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) four-cylinder engine that generates 110bhp peaking at 6,000rpm while producing 142Nm of torque at 4,000rpm. Proton claims it takes only 10.5 seconds to do 0-100kph with a top speed of 190kph. It has been designed for improved durability and reliability and that抯 why the oil change period is now up to 10,000km.

In the pipeline are higher performance through the use of VVT (Variable Valve Timing) and Cam Profile Switching (CPS) and power going up to 130bhp.

Campro has been tested over the last two years and has already completed 1.3 million kilometres of tests in countries ranging from Sweden to Australia. This is more than driving 25 times round the world.

Engine tests were conducted on both engine rigs and dynamometers as well as on the road with running prototypes accumulating more than 27,000 hours. While the main proving ground was in Malaysia, the engine was put through hot and cold onboard diagnostic tests in Australia. Hot and high altitude was done in Spain, high speed testing run at Millbrook In Britain and cold weather testing in Sweden.

For the moment it uses a five-speed manual transmission although a four-speed automatic will be available within the next few months.

The suspension was developed by Lotus to give a superior ride and handling that suits the sporty nature of the car. It uses the familiar MacPherson struts for the front and a multi-link set-up for the rear, all tweaked and refined by Lotus.

As a result, Proton says, Gen.2 has improved steering, cornering and handling capabilities putting it ahead of its competitors in terms of cornering speeds and high-speed stability.

"You can say that it抯 a bit like how Windows continuously keeps on upgrading their software for the better. We like to think that the Proton Waja has ride and handling version 1.0 while Gen.2 has ride and handling version 2.0,
