Petronas to go ahead with engine building
Although Malaysia's Proton has said that it intends to build its own engines for production cars, the company's oil company Petronas is continuing to push ahead with its own car engines.
At the moment Proton cars are all fitted with engines based on Mitsubishi models.
It is possible that the Sauber engines will be used in the top of the range models with the Proton units being used in the mass production units.
