Proton's New Motorsport Division
 
"World famous" car maker Proton has just created a new motorsport division called R3 (Race, Rally, Research) to spice up their car lineups. Plans are to do a sporty version of all their new models. This is to try to improve their image locally in Malaysia and internationally as well. Their first model is the Proton Satria GTi R3. It will be interesting to see what other stuff they come out with in the future :P
