Proton still exist ... and yes we still competing vareity of motorsports... not always get good result... but still did not give up trying... in local event it has proved an amazing result... you can see in british touring car championship... 2 or 3 model was competing.... in WRC also... early proton model was rebadge from mitsubishi...
The "Lotus collaboration" is actually something to do with the ride & handling tuning, and that is made possible as Lotus was once owned by Proton. But Proton Holdings as a whole has been acquired by Geely not long ago which makes Volvo their cousin lol
Cause geely owns 49% proton and geely also owns volvo, lotus and some other brands, so thats why they collaborated they are a family Geely is chinese automobile company btw
Yep, Proton still exists. Current Proton's don't really have much Lotus in it anymore, and they're moving towards Geely vehicles. It's a bit of a pity there aren't any more sporty models anymore. I actually have one of these, it was a hand me down from my dad. It's from 2004, with a 1.6 manual. It's extremely reliable as it ran quite well even after 6 years of daily driving without service. Was the engine sway bar stock in the UK or was it aftermarket?
For me.. actually this car is fun to drive ...the car feel solid in terms of driving experience...i had one n i love to drive it compare to the others Japanese car in the same segment
Still got it? The trim is same with Malaysian CPS model but your engine is the plain Campro engine. Its a simple car with decent handling Normal Campro engine loves to be spanked at the upper rev limit.
Yes these little cars are VERY cheap, but there is of course a reason for that, although I don't believe reliability is an issue, they are quite cheaply made, and it shows in places.

Proton and Lotus collaborated in developing the engine and ride & handling.
