MORE about 13 years ago, Proton comes with a perfect model of GTi. The model comes with a complete package of driver air bags, body kit, Recaro seats, 1.8 DOHC engine and Lotus ride and handling.
GTi is a car that constant fresh. Not satisfied with GTi, Proton produce more extreme variants of the Satria R3 with 150 units is limited. It is strong, roaring, grip and performance against the GTi.
Sales of the hatch is not great. Segment is in the small market size, but has a big impact. GTi direbiu by international media and received not a little praise. Even to this day still have overseas customers who looked forward to the replacement model GTi.
Produce a substitute for the general model is not easy. If the results are equivalent, be prepared to accept criticism berbakul. Simple example is how Nissan Skyline hailed from one generation to another generation.
Proton motoring division, during pre-launch Proton R3 Satria Neo R3 is not read stated that they build the model to reflect on past glory GTi.
R3 has previously produced two special versions of the Proton Satria Neo R3 (NR3) and Proton Satria Neo R3 Lotus Racing (NR3 LR). Although Neo is the same model, but it has a different character. NR3 look more fierce with 17 inch wheels.
While LR is NR3 is edition collector vehicles. The price is too expensive as a result of a five star equipment that is used as a set of AP Racing brakes and Ohlins suspension.
A few time after pre-launch, I had the opportunity to test drive the Proton Satria Neo R3.
After Neo is given a brief description of the RS was first given a name, it is time for me to touch the car again with the more intimate than the previous session in a very short Proton test circuit.
Neo R3 has a button starting the engine. Means for initiating combustion in the cylinder is to hit the brakes and then pressing the push button start, stunt cars.
Once turned on, the bass sound is heard and a bit noisy as directing the driver to immediately take it away. I drove out with caution. Neo R3 is not cheap, it costs a few hundred less than RM80, 000.
continuous power
But be careful and prudent I did not stay long. Accelerator pedal is pressed close to the floor and rpm meter immediately comply swiftly turned to input driver. Cars rush is shifted to higher gear. Opening diprofail CPS and the shaft is a package that corresponds to increase power.
I like the output. Given the power supply will never fail. Always there when needed and made me addicted to hold down the pedal.
I think this kind of output that must be available on all cars, which did not lose power from low to high rpm, which makes the owner feel worthwhile purchase.
Not a car bought for tens of thousands of dollars, but its weak, lazy, and then how to move when not wait to sell it.
When accelerating, the roar of the engine with each exchange gear so compelling. The noise was not loud and deafening. Instead, the sound of the bass and rough notes of music in the car.
Neo R3 may not require a sophisticated set of audio profile sporty car driver as there is no time to listen to radio broadcasts that are sometimes fooling-rapu. Sticking to a single compact disc player.
I have issues with careful gear exchange. Neo R3 and other modern cars drive by wire system (dBW). But to get a neat gear exchange is difficult. Most of the gear is changed, the engine roared.
In addition to testing on the highway, I was in Bangsar. Deliberately to gain experience of driving in traffic jams.
What is important is how heavy or light clutch. If the weight like a sack of rice, which means the car is only entitled to be kept at home and driven occasionally.
Neo R3 medium clutch. Still fit to drive day in congested traffic. Then I started driving this car to a location that is turning, climbing and descending steep.
There, once again gas pedal pressed to the high steep climb. Neo R3 continue to throw away. And raw bass sound from the exhaust sound, this car is fun, is changed from low gear on, turn the steering wheel twisted to appreciate the intricate, car bodies bow in the direction of steering.
What you get from the Neo R3 is an almost perfect package of car speed, the best ride and handling. Arguably, the Neo R3 can sit in line with the legends of other sporty models like the Proton Saga Aerokit, Wira and Satria GTi 1.8 DOHC.
In the highly competitive automotive market, it is difficult to invest half a billion dollars in sales that is not how to develop a niche model. So, Neo probably the last model made Proton two-door car.
If there is even in the near future, it may share a platform with other manufacturers to reduce costs.
Should know that Cusco, famous car tuner interested in selling Satria Neo in the Japanese domestic market because of the vacuum for a short sporty car there.
Japanese variant of performance such as the Honda Civic, Mazda Familia or the Nissan Pulsar GTI INTERPLAY-R already extinct. Golden era of performance models is now a distant memory.
Whatever it is, to those interested, the Neo R3 is only sold in limited quantity. 150 units.
