KUALA LUMPUR: Proton Holdings Bhd has commenced preliminary talks with a Turkish automotive firm to assemble Proton cars in Turkey and later initiate a joint venture to develop a Turkish car.
Further negotiations could only be done after Proton was officially taken private by DRB-Hicom Bhd later in this month, said former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who is Proton adviser.
“The idea is initially of course to probably assemble Proton cars there and eventually develop a Turkish car through the collaboration.
“At the moment, they are already talking to each other,” he told Bernama.
He said Malaysia used to export Proton cars to Turkey but had to stop doing so due to certain circumstances.
“When we get a good partner other than the said collaboration, Malaysia should also be able to export more Proton cars to Turkey,” he said.
The automotive industry in Turkey plays an important role in the
manufacturing sector of the Turkish economy.
In 2008, it produced 1.147 million motor vehicles, ranking it 6th largest producer in Europe and the 15th in the world.
Among prominent automakers in Turkey are Tofas (Turk Otomobil Fabrikasi Anonim Sirketi) that builds Fiat models and some locally-designed vehicles, and Oyak Renault Otomobil Fabrikaları.
Dr Mahathir also said the proposed free trade agreement between Malaysia and Turkey, expected to be signed this year, would really boost trade, investment and economic ties.
“Turkey can become a hub as it is centrally located. It is very near to Arab countries and Central Asian countries.
“Thus, by going to Turkey, we can have access to other countries surrounding Turkey,” he said.
“Turkey has a population of 70 million, good per capita and has good purchasing power. I believe that Turkish products will find good market in Malaysia,” he added.
Turkey, is a Eurasian country located in Western Asia and in East Thrace in Southeastern Europe.
It is bordered by eight countries, namely Bulgaria, Greece, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq and Syria. – Bernama
Good luck Proton. Hope this collaboration with Turkey will give benefit especially to get market at Europe.

Bentley, another luxury car that won’t reach in my mind. The £149,350 “Crewe cut” open topped Continental GTC joins the coupe COntinental GT and flagship Mulsanneas the third new Bentley launched in the last two years. The COntinental GTC will replaces the current Bentley GTC and was launched in 2006 and being describes as the ‘most dramatic’ looking car from Bentley.
The car powered by 6.0 litre engine W12 could develops 567 bhp and 700Nm torque. It is using six speed automatic gearbox than being controlled by steering wheel mounted paddle, all wheels drive and power split 60:40 for rear axle and improve agility and corner exit speeds. The car could accelerate 195mph -19mph more than 176mph Maserati GranCabrio and 2mph more than the 193mph Ferrari California.The car could speed 0-6mph in 4.5 seconds.
Their body is sharpe, criper bodywork and using 21 inch alloy wheels. The car might be 10g than standard COupe and 0.1 sec slower to 6mph but the car will feels fast if you fold the roof down. The steering can be adjust from comfort to sport in the centre console. In the soft mode it’s more proggessive and smooth while it feels sharper in Sport mode.
