My info about Proton Perdana/V6
What is V6 engine:
A V6 engine is a V engine with six cylinders mounted on the crankcase in two banks of three cylinders, usually set at either a right angle or an acute angle to each other, with all six pistons driving a common crankshaft. It is the second most common engine configuration in modern cars after the inline four. The V6 is one of the most compact engine configurations, shorter than the straight 4 and in many designs narrower than the V8 engine, and is well suited to the popular transverse engine front-wheel drive layout. It is becoming more common as the space allowed for engines in modern cars is reduced at the same time as power requirements increase, and has largely replaced the inline-6, which is too long to fit in many modern engine compartments. Although it is more complicated and not as smooth as the inline 6, the V6 is more compact, more rigid, and less prone to torsional vibrations in the crankshaft.
Perdana History:
The Proton Perdana is a mid-size car produced by Proton. It is a badge engineered version of the seventh-generation Mitsubishi Eterna.
Perdana SEi (1995-1998):
The Perdana was first introduced by Proton in 1995 with Mitsubishi proven 2.0L 4G63 engine. It was based on the Mitsubishi Galant platform and was thus similar to the Mitsubishi Eterna in Japan, but received minor internal and external changes when it was launched locally in Malaysia. The first generation Perdana was also Proton's first car to offer an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and cruise control.In 1997, the Perdana was given a facelift with a chrome grille, a new rim design, new body colours and upgraded interior trimmings.
Perdana V6 (1999-present):
In 1999, Proton shoehorned a 2.0 L 6A12V6 engine (also sourced by Mitsubishi) into the Perdana. The Mitsubishi 6A1 engine is a series of V6 engines from Mitsubishi Motors, found in their small and medium vehicles through the 1990s. They ranged from 1.6 L to 2.5 L in size, and came with a variety of induction methods and cylinder head designs and configurations.The so-called Proton Perdana V6 also had a new bodykit and 16" rims. The original Perdana in Malaysia is soldiered on for a short while before it was dropped. With Lotus-tuned and upgraded suspension settings, the car handles well through tight corners and it is a good high speed cruiser.
In 2003, the Perdana V6 was given a major facelift, gaining a new Alfa Romeo- esque front grill (earning the moniker "Alfadana" in
Malaysi a and new bumpers. Inside, it was given a new aluminium-effect trim. This iteration remains on sale to date. Also made available is a luxury variant of the Proton Perdana V6 with an extended length of 25cm (10 inches) in the rear door, dubbed the Proton Perdana V6 Executive.
Lotus DNA for Spectacular Ride & Handling and Reduced Noise, Vibration & Harshness
When it comes to techniques in suspension tuning, Lotus Engineering in Norwich, England, is one o
the world's foremost names in this field of automobile excellence. The fine tuning of the front and rear suspension system has bestowed the PERDANA V6 better body control with more definite roadholding and stability. Thereby giving the driver more confidence, enabling more precise steering and cornering.
