The Proton Satria R3 is a three-door hot hatchback that Proton introduced in late 2004 as a run-out model of the Satria GTi, placed at the top of the Satria range. It came from the company's Race, Rally, Research division, headed at the time by Tengku Djan Ley, which took the GTi and made it lighter and sharper rather than more powerful. The original cars kept the Mitsubishi-sourced 1.8 litre four-cylinder engine at about 105 kilowatts, but gained a double stitch welded body, strut braces, stiffer suspension, cross-drilled brake discs and carbon fibre parts, and lost sound deadening and the driver airbag, bringing weight down to 995 kilograms. Only 150 were built. Later Satria Neo based R3 editions followed in 2008, 2010 and 2011.
