Honda has been mass producing 2L engines making 250hp for the S2000 since many years ago. Petronas isnt a weak company, they do participate in F1 and I wouldnt be surprised if they made a 100hp/L road going engine. Even Alfa Romeo is getting close these days (and many others have already achieved it). Ive spoken to a Petronas research employee before, and you'd be surprised with the standards they have in that company. Of course the actual engines dont produce as much power as claimed, but we're talking about paper figures here and its the same for all companies. Infact Ive read an article that those that will be used in China are comfort variants of the E-01 and the output is far from being close to 100hp/L. But the fact is it could have been done, a 200hp NA Type-R-ish Proton could have been derived from a joint development with Petronas. But alas, Im thinking that its the lack of profitability that stopped the making.Youre right, its not easy to just drop in the engine and produce a 200hp car. But we're not talking about the undertree mechanics here or Proton alone. We're talking about Petronas. And to even think that the prototype already existed. As for the many more years of development before the engines are actually put out on sale, I would think that it has to do with creating the means for mass production and optimizing/finalizing the engine for the market's usage.</blockquote>
