I remember the first time I heard of the Nurburgring was on Top Gear when Clarkson tried to make a lap time of under 10 minutes in a diesel Jaguar. He barely made the time but was outclassed by Sabine Schmidt. Needless to say, I always imagined how fast a Proton would go round the famous “Green Hell”. Well, a pair of Dutch twin brothers did just that with their taxi-liveried Proton Wira! The Gravemade brothers from Dutch DIY Mechanics (DDM), Jochem and Ruben turned a regular Proton Wira into a t

Zaman 90-an merupakan era kegemilangan Proton. Kita dapat menyaksikan bagaimana Proton mencipta pelbagai model berdasarkan platform Proton Wira seperti Satria, Putra, dan kereta yang kita ingin fokus dalam rencana ini iaitu Arena. Ini adalah cubaan pertama Proton setakat ini untuk mereka sebuah pikap bersaiz kompak. Dilancarkan pada tahun 2002, Proton mengubahsuai bahagian penumpang belakang sebuah Wira kepada 'cargobed'. Maka itu, Proton Arena hanya boleh memuatkan 2 orang sahaja. Sebagai sebua

Litar Nurburgring atau lebih dikenali sebagai The Green Hell adalah sebuah litar yang sangat terkenal bagi peminat sukan permotoran sedunia. Di antara liku-liku, titik buta dan curam yang menakutkan, Nürburgring senantiasa menjadi cabaran utama bagi pemandu-pemandu di seluruh dunia. Nürburgring adalah trek perlumbaan yang boleh dikatakan paling berbahaya dan paling panjang di dunia. Lebih menarik lagi, 2 orang adik beradik, Jochem dan Ruben Gravemade, melalui instagram mereka Dutch Diy Mechanics

During a recent trip back to my hometown in Ipoh, I learned from my dad that the son of the mechanic that he usually visits has moved to Singapore. He recently secured a technical position at the Mercedes-Benz division of Cycle and Carriage. Good for him I say. He is a talented young kid who has been helping out in his father’s workshop long before his peers learn about the theory of combustion engines. I have no doubt about the quality of his work. However his father’s workshop is literally und

Back in 1993, the most preferred body-type for a car was a saloon. The Proton Persona debuted, and back then, we knew it as the Proton Wira. The Wira was known as the Persona in UK. Alongside the Wira, the Satria was called the Persona Compact, and the Putra was the Persona Coupe. For 2 generations, the Persona was a C-segment saloon. Things were revamped in 2016, and the Persona name was redesignated to an Iriz-based B-segment sedan. A lot has changed over 27 years, but the Persona remains an a

Pada era 90-an, pengguna lebih menggemari kereta jenis sedan. Maka itu, Proton Wira dibangunkan. Di United Kingdom, Wira dikenali sebagai Persona. Proton Satria pula dikenali sebagai Persona Compact. Model seperti Proton Putra pula dikenali sebagai Persona Coupe. Selama 2 generasi, Persona berada di dalam segmen C. Namun demikian, ia telah diubah pada tahun 2016 dimana ia dibangunkan berdasarkan Proton Iriz yang merupakan sebuah kereta segmen B. Setelah 27 tahun berada di dalam pasaran, Proton P

Di antara Proton dan Perodua, amat mudah untuk melihat jenama mana yang menghasilkan kereta rakyat. Kedua-dua pembuat kereta tempatan ini juga mempunyai persaingan yang agak sihat antara satu sama lain. Walaupun Proton memberi saingan yang baik melawan Perodua Myvi dengan Iriz, namun begitu angka penjualannya kurang memberangkan jika nak dibandingkan dengan ‘Raja Jalanan’ yang perkasa. Tetapi, angka jualannya boleh dikira sebagai “langit dan bumi” jika nak dibandingkan dengan cubaan Proton terda

As the automotive industry heads to an autonomous and electric future, a fair share of inventions of the past are losing presence in modern cars. The carburetor, the handbrake, and the ignition key switch are some to name. The friction of technology shift is something that can only be felt by those who have been accustomed to older technology. To younger generations, new technology is just how things have always been. While I claim to be a proponent of new technology, I find myself having more a

Between Proton and Perodua, it’s easy to see which one produces the rakyat's car. Both local carmakers also have a sort of friendly rivalry. While Proton did a decent rival against the Perodua Myvi with the Iriz, its sales were pretty lacklustre compared to the mighty King. At least the Iriz actually sell decently, which is more being said for its predecessors, the Proton Tiara and the Proton Savvy. Exactly what went wrong with the two Proton hatchbacks that both models are dubbed as the worst p

在Proton和Perodua之间，很容易看出谁的车才是人民之车。不过，这两家国产车企之间，也一直有着某种友好的竞争关系。 尽管Proton凭借着Iriz与Perodua Myvi打得有来有回，但比起真正的王者，它还是要差点意思。不过至少，Iriz的销量还算可观，但这个评价，用在它的前辈Proton Tiara和Proton Savvy上更加合适。 这两款Proton的掀背车型到底做错了什么，以至于我们会将它们称为吉利时代前最差劲的Proton车型？从理论上说，这取决于Savvy选择的变速箱，但无论如何，这两款车型对于Proton来说都是很失败的。 那么，我们先从Proton Tiara开始吧。 Proton Tiara——表现并不出色 在90年代，Proton几乎占据了每一个级别的市场。Iswara虽然可能有些落后了，但它确实能够让你以低廉的价格换来宽裕的空间。 Wira在追加了新的引擎选项后，在销量榜上居高不下，而尽管Perdana才刚刚上市，但它最终统治D级市场只是时间问题。最后，还有Satria，它也逐渐成为了一个狂热群体的符号。 所以，Tiara在这里真的有些格格不入。首先，

Nama Proton Wira ini memang sebati dengan rakyat Malaysia, macam nasi lemak. Model kedua keluaran syarikat nasional ini pada tahun 1993 selepas Proton Saga adalah model yang penting pada masa itu, dan sehingga kini masih ramai lagi yang meminatinya. Berasaskan model Mitsubishi Lancer generasi keempat, Proton telah mencipta pelbagai jenis variasi model berasaskan platform Wira ini seperti Aeroback, Satria, Arena, dan juga Putra.

The Proton Wira was Proton’s second-ever model right after the Saga and just like the first national car, the Wira sold like hotcakes. In fact, between its introduction in 1993 to its final year of production in 2009, 952,216 units of the heroically-named model were sold. Based on the fourth-generation Mitsubishi Lancer, Proton utilised the platform of the Wira on various other models including the Satria, Putra, and Arena. The Wira was also one of the first widely exported Proton models. The hi
