He adds that it will be priced between £55,000 (≈RM 296k) and £100,000 (≈RM 539k) in the UK. It is also said that the new model will have enough interior space to be compatible

The Lotus Evija is the company’s first-ever electric hypercar. Power is derived from four motors that does 2,000 PS and 1,700 Nm, allowing the hypercar to hit 300 km/h in just 9 seconds, quicker than a Bugatti Chiron! As you know, no matter how many hypercars were introduced in the world, none can come close to competing with the Bugatti Chiron’s numbers. The Chiron maintains its position as the fastest car in the world but it seems the Lotus Evija has peeped out the Chiron’s acceleration time.

In 2000, Proton was just entering its 15th year of automotive production and during those years, they were dominating the Malaysian car market thanks to the laws that protect the national carmaker from imported rivals. At this point, all of Proton’s line-up consisted of rebadged Mitsubishis and a single rebadged Citroen.

Talk about Proton and its borderline blasphemous to not note about their Race Rally Research (R3) division who were responsible for lots of special cars along the carmaker’s 35-year history.

从80年代到90年代起，Perodua和Proton就一直在马来西亚生产汽车，而这两个品牌也都有一些车型出口到了海外。尽管在那个年代，大部分国产车的质量和动力都很一般，但也有几个车型成为了不朽的经典，以下就是这两个品牌推出的最棒的车型总结。 Perodua Kelisa 如果说VW Beetle是德国的人民之车，那么在Perodua Myvi问世之前，Perodua Kelisa就是马来西亚的人民之车。这辆比Perodua Kancil大上一点的五门掀背小车在2001年正式亮相，并且因为有着良好的操控性和燃油效率，它很快就收到了大马人民的青睐。 由于有着如同卡丁车一般的灵敏操控，用平价版Mini来形容Kelisa是最合适不过的了。无论从哪个方面来看，你都可以说Kelisa取代了Mini的地位，因为这辆经济实惠的掀背小车十分实用，而且也有着活力十足的驾驶体验。 Proton Wira 1.8 EXi DOHC——C99限量版 Proton Wira 1.8 EXi DOHC又被车迷们称为C99，它是为了达到世界拉力锦标赛N组的规格而开发的。FIA同时也要求，参赛的车型至少要有2,500辆
