So both V-Power Racing and V-Power 97 are RON97, right? No V-Power 98 for Malaysia, right?

yup, actually both have the same research octane no but the diff only is tht v-pwr racing fuel base is specially formulated. tht mean the fuel base itself is higher quality even without the additive. while v-pwr 97 use the same fuel base as current U97 in the market be it shell, petronas, esso, etc... im not sure if later they will change v-pwr racing fuel base to RON98. we'll see la wat happen then.. :)

Thank you very much for your much awaited input and reply. Above everything else, it is indeed very thoughtful and kind of you to disclose all this V-Power Racing and V-Power 97 info and launching/relaunching at the most significant times for us at LGTC. If we were still using the rep system from last year, I would give you +rep without any shadow of doubt and second thoughts

Just now, on my way to KV from Melaka, I had my pit stop for SiPuteh at Shell Seremban R&R. I noticed, as Bro Bagong have pointed out earlier, the pump attendants busy putting up new Shell V-Power 97 placards on the bowsers. It's happening guys and gals...Finally someone in the consumer Petroleum Industry is listening to our plight

At this juncture, it looks like Shell Malaysia is giving consumers in Malaysia RON97 with V-Power characteristics at standard RON97 pricing

IMHO, from now on, unless Shell Malaysia has concocted a blunderous formula in their V-Power 97, they are not going to need do competitions to entice consumers to buy RON97 fuel. The V-Power content in the V-Power 97 is already the free gift Shell is giving to its customers

I believe there is going to be lots of brand converts coming to Shell pumps after this

Here is a snapshot of what I saw at the Seremban R&R Shell this evening:

QUOTE

The innovative formula in the new Shell V-Power 97 is designed to help you get the most out of your car, no matter what you drive. It’s designed to unlock power more quickly and deliver sustained performance. These special features of new Shell V-Power 97 are designed to make a difference, right from the first fill.

A unique formulation that contains components selected for their ability to deliver more power and acceleration through improved combustion, whatever car you drive.
97 Octane formulation is designed to deliver the acceleration potential of all cars.
The same Friction Modification Technology used in Shell V-Power race fuel by Ferrari Formula One cars is designed to reduce friction by introducing a surface coating component to protect critical engine parts. This helps unlock valuable energy enabling more efficient energy transfer from the fuel to the wheels. It is designed for improved performance right from the first fill.

Shell V-Power 97 is also designed to prevent the build-up of power-robbing deposits on your engine’s valves and injection systems. It is also formulated to help remove existing deposits, enhancing the responsiveness of your engine. Used regularly, Shell V-Power 97 can help keep a new car performing like new for longer, and in some cases, can even help rejuvenate older cars.

When it comes to driving, we share the same passion as Ferrari – a passion for performance. Shell V-Power is the direct result of a day-to-day technical partnership between Shell engineers and scientists, and those in the Ferrari team. What we’ve learned with Ferrari at the race track, we’ve adapted for the road.

Just think - if Shell V-Power can help keep Ferrari’s road cars in peak condition, imagine what it can do for yours.

Don't worry Bro WillyVanilly, if the Shell Stations in Kelantan used to supply Premium RON97 Unleaded, then, they will now have phased out the Premium RON97 Unleaded and completely replaced that with V-Power 97

. It's a pity that they also phased out V-Power Racing there, but I believe V-Power 97 is more than sufficient for our cars. It gives the best of both world (for now) i.e. V-Power Technology at standard Premium Unleaded Price

It may not be as super superior as V-Power Racing but it is not lacking on the minimum standards set to earn the V-Power status on Premium Unleaded 97

By the way, Bro RGT788, when you fill up your tank, what colour did you notice the V-Power 97 is? Is it blue-ish in colour? If so, it is similar in colour as V-Power Racing. Thanking you in advance of your valuable feedback

SHELL Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd (Shell Malaysia) memperkenalkan Shell V-Power 97 iaitu tambahan terbaru kepada petrol V-Power yang dicipta untuk memberi lebih kuasa dan prestasi untuk semua jenis kenderaan pada harga kawalan RON97.

Pengarah Urusannya, Azman Ismail, berkata orang ramai boleh mencuba Shell V-Power 97 yang berprestasi tinggi itu di semua 750 stesen Shell di seluruh negara termasuk Sabah dan Sarawak.

Katanya, walaupun Shell V-Power 97 menggunakan bahan tambahan Teknologi Pengubahsuaian Geseran (FMT), namun harga bagi seliter bahan api terbabit masih sama dengan petrol RON97 iaitu RM2.05 seliter.

“Di Shell kami komited menghasilkan petrol yang lebih baik untuk pelanggan kami dan kenderaan mereka dan dengan pengalaman lebih seabad dalam pembangunan petrol, pakar Shell menghasilkan Shell V-Power 97 bagi memenuhi permintaan pelanggan yang mahukan petrol berprestasi tinggi.

“Shell V-Power 97 membantu kereta anda mencapai potensi walau apa pun jenis kereta yang digunakan, malah ia boleh didapati pada harga kawalan yang biasa dibayar pelanggan,” katanya di majlis pelancaran Shell V-Power 97 di Subang Jaya, semalam.

Hadir sama, Pengurus Teknologi Bahan Api Shell Global Solutions Asia Pasifik, Eric Holthusen; Pengurus Jualan Runcit Nasional dan Operasi Shell, Leslie Ng dan Ketua Pemasaran Peruncitan Shell, Vivek Kumar.

Shell V-Power 97 boleh didapati di 750 stesen seluruh negara, menggantikan petrol RON97. Manakala Petrol premium Shell V-Racing akan dijual di lebih 40 lokasi di pusat bandar dan sekitar Lembah Klang serta Johor.

Shell V-Power 97 menggunakan FMT iaitu sama seperti yang digunakan oleh Shell untuk Ferrari dalam Formula One (F1).

Ciri-ciri pengurangan geseran Shell V-Power 97 baru ini direka untuk membaiki daya pecutan dengan membersihkan dan mencegah enapan dalam enjin untuk membolehkan pembakaran lebih cekap bagi semua jenis enjin.
