While the facelifted 2021 Proton Persona and Iriz are pretty much open secrets, Proton's revival of the R3 brand pretty much came out of nowhere, led by this week's launches of the 2021 Proton Saga and Iriz R3 Limited Edition.

Those who were holding their breaths for the 2021 Proton Iriz and Proton Persona to get a 4-speed torque converter like the Saga, we've got news for you.

Remember that time when we witnessed a Proton Saga R3 racecar chase down an FD2R? Well Proton’s R3 team is proud to show to us just how the car was built.
