Proton Satria Neo R3 Lotus Racing Edition

Proton launched a new, special edition of the current Neo CPS, the Neo R3 Lotus Racing.













The engine has got upgrades and are now producing 145BHP and 17.1 kg-m (168 N-m) of torque, having a 25 hp and 18 N-m gain from the standard CPS, and now does 0-100 in 9.2 seconds, with top speed of 205km/h, compare to the 10.5 seconds and 190km/h for the standard.

Additional upgrade, carbon fiber hood, Ohlins DFV adjustable suspension (this i like ^^)













Bridgestone Adrenaline RE001 tyre, AP Racing 4-pots brake up front and single pot back












As well as whole bunch of R3 goodies, all in the expenses, of RM115,ooo,oo. (In case theres too much zeros for u, RM115k)

The fender....





















reminiscence of Nissan GTR's fender?





















Carbon fiber sticker from the looks...





















Least it has decent BBS LM style rims...good job ~














Plain interior...













Look at the gearknob!! How in anyway, is that an inspiration from Formula 1~?













Decent back...













But lower the roof abit the front is absolutely great !













Tun Mahathir Muhammad was there at the launch...













A carbon fiber airbox....wow ~~~~~~














The car was launch together with the Lotus Racing F1 drivers in Pavillion on March 30, but think of it this way....Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button going to be all smile with their new MP4-12C













while Heikki Kovalainen and Jarno Trulli gonna be, smilling.........with their R3s.....hmm....even their shoes are.....what can i say but FASHION OF THE YEAR ~















So there u have it, this is literally RM115k for a 10-second car~ hmmmm....

  4. Satria GTi can do 7.8 stock leh....though GTi is 1.8 la.
    Neo is not bad, but 115k price tag, I'd get an FD2, rather no OHLINS
