Automobiles

The Proton Putra, whose name means son or prince in Malay, is a front wheel drive sports coupe built by the Malaysian maker Proton. Production started in late 1996 and ended in 2001, and the car was briefly relaunched in limited numbers in 2004 to clear the remaining stock at the factory. It is based on the fourth generation Mitsubishi Mirage Asti and Lancer and is a two-door coupe with front styling like the Wira and the first Satria, while its power plant derives from a Mitsubishi 4G93P DOHC engine. In the United Kingdom and Australia it was sold as the Proton Coupe or M21, where it was seen as bland against rivals such as the Ford Puma and Vauxhall Tigra.
