totally should read MAHATHIR want to manufact supercars instead of msia... -_-

ISTANBUL â Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has pictured the possibility of Malaysia producing "super cars" in order to further enhance the capability of the nationâs automotive industry.

Dr Mahathir said Turkish supercar producer Onuk had indicated willingness to cooperate with Malaysia to produce the exotic vehicle.

Dr Mahathir said he had long been aware of Turkish companiesâ capability but only now he could see it first-hand.

âI was aware of their capability. But there was no follow-up at the time as I was not the prime minister then, so making progress would have been difficult. âAnd now they are ready to collaborate... not only with that type of car (super car) but also with other cars,ââ he said . Dr Mahathir was speaking to Malaysian reporters at the end of his official visit to Turkey at the Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (ISGIA) on Sunday (July 28). The Onuk Sazan and Onuk S56/G super car models areexhibited at ISGIA and Dr Mahathir took the opportunity to check them out before he left for home.

 

On Friday, Dr Mahathir had a dialogue session with Turkish captains of industry, and offered them Malaysian expertise to produce their own national car based on the success garnered by Proton and Perodua. Meanwhile, Dr Mahathir praised Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd's (MAHB) success in managing (ISGIA) Turkeyâs second largest airport â showing Malaysian companiesâ capabilities as well as their ability to expand their operations abroad.

 

He said that although MAHB operates airports in several other countries, ISGIA â which the company wholly owns â is the largest, handling 34 million passengers annually. âItâs much larger than KLIA (Kuala lumpur International Airport), and its management is something special. There are people who recognise our capability in this field and give us a lot of opportunities," said Dr Mahathir. On Friday, Dr Mahathir visited ISGIA, which was taken over entirely by MAHB in 2014, and witnessed its operations.

 

Opened in January 2001, the airport is the second busiest in Turkey and the worldâs busiest single-runway airport and terminal. Located some 45 km from Istanbul, it recorded 16.7 million passenger traffic movements as of June this year over first half of 2019, up 3.4 per cent over the same period last yeaar. In 2018, it posted 34.1 million passenger traffic movements and revenue of RM1.15 billion (S$382 million). NEW STRAITS TIMES

Looks horribly dated. Like a Lotec from 2001.

the intent is good

 

a nation industrial prowess is based on engineering, both physical and software

 

physical engineering starts with automotive, locomotive and aerospace/naval

 

look at germany......

 

 

on a side note

 

the msian supercar should be named:

 

 

Myvilauren MY2020, producing 2020 bhp....

I remembered when I was young. I always see Wawasan 2020. Now 2020 is just nearby but I don't see their vision. 

Can't even have a breakthrough with their Proton until being bought over by Geely, let alone making supercars. When they can make a proper, quality family car and expand their brand range then talked about supercar league. They are just making themselves a laughing matter.

sounds like a farrari owner trying to save fuel by driving 70kmh. makes no logic other than maintain the domestic flight interest.

HSR has a different requirement for high speed vs not so high speed.  The cost will be different.

It defeat the purpose of HSR if don't do high speed.

In a way, stupid comment.
