Proton Artiga

The Proton Artiga, also called the R3 Artiga, was a hot hatchback concept built by the R3 motorsport and tuning division of the Malaysian carmaker Proton on the body of the Satria Neo. It was first shown at the 2011 Shanghai motor show on the stand of Proton's Chinese partner Youngman, with a Youngman badge because Proton had no direct presence in China, and it was shown again at the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon and at Proton's Power of 1 event. Proton described it as a study on the future of the hot hatch, inspired by its motorsport work, and it used a lot of carbon fibre on the bonnet, side skirts, spoiler and diffusers, along with wide wheel arches, OZ Racing wheels and centrally mounted twin tailpipes. Its supercharged Campro four cylinder engine was quoted at 180 hp and 240 Nm, with 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and a top speed of 235 km/h. The sources read describe a show car and record no production version.
