Proton Persona Modified: Proton Persona Envy
I found few great pictures of the limited edition of the Proton Persona from e-kereta.com. It is called Proton Persona Envy. I guess the specs will be more or less the same as the standard version where it’s powered by the 1.6 liter normally aspirated Campro engine.
I’m not sure if the Envy is street legal though with all the tinted glasses and the darkened taillight.
I wish Proton will develop a turbocharged engine for future Proton cars. I might consider to buy Proton car again

Introductian Of Proton Persona Model
The Proton Persona (known as the Proton Gen-2 Persona in the UK) is a small family car manufactured by Malaysian national carmaker Proton since August 2007 and is the successor to the Proton Wira.
Design
Body
The Proton Persona is essentially a saloon based on the Gen-2 hatchback introduced in 2004, and inherits the Persona name from rebadged Wiras sold in certain countries. It addresses several main flaws of the Gen-2, although the Gen-2 itself remains in sale.
interior
The interior was redesigned to incorporate a glovebox at the dashboard, an accessory that was not available in the Gen-2. The obtrusive analog clock present in the Gen-2's dashboard has also been replaced by a digital one that now resides in the digital display on the instrument panel. In addition, the door trims and panels were modified to feature more ergonomic window switches and door handles, and the pseudo-racing seats were replaced by more conventional and comfortable ones. Fit and finish is noticeably improved a lot and so are the suspension setting as well because it is tuned more to comfort.
A revised version of the Gen-2 launched on March 3, 2008 also incorporates the interior trims of the Persona.
Engine
The 1.6 litre Campro engine in the Persona is the same 82 kW (110 hp) unit used in other Proton models but with an improved cast aluminium oil pan design that reduces the chances of damage. A transmission control unit re-calibration on models with automatic transmissions reduces the hunting of gears and improves gear changes in an attempt to mask the dip in the torque curve in the lower and middle rev ranges. It has been announced that in early 2008 the Persona will be equipped with new Campro engines that incorporate a new variable-geometry intake manifold module (Campro IAFM engine) which improves low-end torque and high-rev breathing.
