The road car engines which have been designed by Sauber Petronas Engineering could end up being sold to Hyundai.

The road car engines which have been designed by Sauber Petronas Engineering could end up being sold to Hyundai. The engines were designed to go into Proton cars but for some reason Proton wants to do its own thing and so the Petronas engines are available for other manufacturers. Hyundai is one company which is showing interest but we hear that others are also keen.

The Proton engines are being designed by its subsidiary Lotus Engineering.
