A favourite modification theme for Mitsubishi Lancer owners is to ape the legendary Evolution, and we’re sure that some Proton Inspira owners or prospects are looking at the same direction too. But before anyone has attempted that on their new car, Proton Design themselves have come up with an “Inspira Evo” to provide some inspiration. As part of the carmaker’s “Pahlawan” series of concepts at KLIMS, this is the Jebat!
The Jebat has a matt black coat covering large parts of its front and rear, with a matching strip at the lower section of the doors. Look closely and you’ll also notice that the front and rear fenders are puffed up, wide-body style. There are also daytime LEDs, bonnet vents (three in total) and a rear spoiler for the Evo look. The rear bumper has a diffuser that’s quite narrow, covering only the length of the number plate. The wheels are 18-inch items.
Inside, Hang Jebat gets to sit on nice Recaros with red stitching, a theme repeated on the door panels. That and a Clarion touch screen ICE system are the only changes from the standard car.
Under those bonnet vents lie a 2.0L MIVEC turbo engine with 237 hp and 343 Nm, good enough for a 0-100 km/h dash in 5.6 seconds. Top speed is 232 km/h.
Live and studio images after the jump. What do you think?

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the Proton Jebat concept highlight a mix of criticisms and praise. Many find the design unattractive, comparing it to bodykits or copying Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, and criticize the heavy use of black plastics, which they see as cheap-looking. Some feel the concept lacks innovation, merely rebadging or modifying existing models without showcasing advanced technology or originality. Others commend Proton for presenting a concept, hoping future models will improve, and note that the naming "Pahlawan series" is culturally meaningful. Overall, sentiments lean toward disappointment with the design and execution, though a few commenters appreciate the effort and see potential if improvements are made before production. Many suspect it’s merely a facelift or styling exercise, with some calling it shameful for perceived copying.
