I believe that Satria has had engine based on Renault F4 1.8 16V since the very beginning. That is in fact quite old unit with block from cast iron.

Yes, as Mirek says the Proton's engine has always been Renault-derived, so this will not have an impact on what rally car Kubica can drive. However, Lotus bought a stake in the Renault branded F1 team which will now be "Lotus-Renault" and the parent company of Lotus are also the parent company of Proton so don't be surprised to see him in a Proton S2000 in the future!

That's good. Hopefully another good driver will join in the spare Fabia like PG or Hanninen then we can see how close they can get to the new cars :up:
