It’s coming baby.
Yummy!
either love me, or leave me alone
wow, I cant believe Proton just announce another concept that caught my attention in one day.
Another concept car, this time in the shell of the Proton Satria Neo R3 Concept. pictures also sourced from http://www.paultan.org
I think this looks better than the Proton Jebat.
Recaro racing seats
Dont let this R3 Concept fool ya. This thing has 200hp and 250Nm of torque, from their 1.6CPS Campro.. tuned no doubt.. with a turbocharger! It also gets R3 forged pistons, steel conrod, performance camshafts, reworked cylinder heads, carbon airbox, a new exhaust system and management computer.
Handling wise, it uses a complete AP Racing brake kit comprising 4-pot calipers, 295 mm floating discs and performance brake pads. The fancy Ohlins coil over suspension also make an appearance here. The show car wears 15-inch wheels with 195/50 Bridgestone Potenza RE55S semi slicks.
Dont think they are going to sell this though. ![]()
Proton seems to be doing great over the recent years thanks to the new management, putting itself in the black and now, building concept cars. There was one that caught my eye, which Proton made based on the Proton Inspira… which is technically a Mitsubishi Lancer.
Below are some pictures of the Proton Jebat Concept car, sourced from www.paultan.org
here’s a back shot
With a puffed wide bodykit style, the Jebat also has daytime LEDs light, 3 bonnet vents and rear spoiler, sitting on 18inch rims. Looks kinda like an Evo, ala Malaysian style!
This car is equipped with Recaro seats, black with red stitching as the theme for the interior, and a Clarion touch screen In-Car Entertainment (ICE) system. Other than that, not much changes.
Lets hope they materialize this car, cause it looks quite good. Rear could be improved still though.
