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

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.

Who here remembers Proton Eon Racing Team (PERT) that was formed in the late 1980s? It may not be familiar to some of you but they were the ones that laid the foundation for Proton R3 - which stands for Race, Rally and Research. The name’s a clue to its history. Starting out with circuit racing, the PERT team made headways into rally before reaching their pinnacle sometime in 2002 - winning the FIA Production Car World Rally Championship title, thanks to “Flying Sikh” Karamjit Singh and co-drive

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

Just last week, we saw the 2020 Proton Saga Anniversary Edition made to celebrate the first Saga launched way back in 1985. Some liked it, but there also were critics that poked fun at Proton - thinking that the Saga is merely a cheap cash grab. Whether or not you liked it is another question, but it’s a fact that Proton had even hotter cars in their 37-year history, namely the Proton Putra, Satria GTI and Wira 1.8 Exi LE. Put side-by-side, each of them makes the Saga Anniversary edition look fa

Proton is no stranger when it comes to weird models and this Wira Grand Limousine is one such example. Never mind the elongated body (typical of any limousine conversions), the Wira Grand Limousine boasts 6 doors - 2 more than the regular Wira. As seen on Mudah, this particular unit has an asking price of RM 28,000, a tad bit more than a regular Wira. The extra nets you an LCD TV, ambient lighting, and even a fridge. Powering the Wira Grand Limousine is Proton’s tried-and-tested 1.6-litre 4G92 f

Siapa masih ingat Proton Eon Racing Team (PERT) yang ditubuhkan lewat tahun 80 an dahulu? Pasukan PERT adalah perintis kepada Proton R3 dan bak kata orang, selebihnya adalah sejarah. Pasukan PERT bermula dengan perlumbaan litar hinggalah berjinak-jinak ke perlumbaan rali. Kemuncak kegemilangan pasukan PERT hadir sekitar tahun 2002 di mana Karamjit Singh dan pembantu pemandu Allen Oh memenangi Kejohanan FIA World Rally Championship.

Pada tahun 1994, Proton mengembangkan sayap kejayaannya sebagai pengeluar kereta paling laris di Malaysia dengan pelancaran Proton Wira pada tahun sebelumnya. Seperti mana anda sedia maklum, model kereta Proton menggunakan asas daripada jenama Mitsubishi. Jadi secara tak langsung timbul persoalan tentang ada atau pun tidak perancangan untuk model berprestasi tinggi. Tambahan pula, Proton pun aktif dengan sukan rali ketika itu dengan Petronas EON Racing Team. Jadi apakah jawapannya: semestinya. K

Ada yang sukakannya, dan macam biasa ada saja ‘haters’ tegar Proton yang tak cukup jari mengutuk Proton dek kerana rasakan Saga Edisi 35 Tahun hanyalah ‘diubahsuai’ dengan aksesori tambahan yang boleh dibeli di kedai 'Abang' (Brother’s).
