EXCLUSIVE: Proton Satria GTI Makeover Video #1

Advertisement

Earlier, you saw the work in progress pix of Hafiz Mohd Hashim’s Satria GTI, with the boys at R3 reportedly working double time on the rebuild. The car has already undergone its repaint job, finished in Lotus Racing Green, as requested by Hafiz.

Unlike the previous makeovers, however, Proton has decided to make a series of videos on this one as the rework progresses along. The first of these exclusive videos to us is pretty much a teaser, talking a bit about the handover, with sound bites from Hafiz and his wife Salina.

The video also reveals that the Satria was previously involved in a mishap, with the car badly damaged, according to Hafiz. There’s a part in the video that shows the floorboard in front of the driver’s seat to be rusted, likely from repair work that wasn’t all too hot.

Stay tuned for more videos in the series – you’ll only find them here! :)

    Kalo ade masa, baik pergi luangkan dalam R&D and design.

    Usah nak buat kerja kerja remeh cam ni untuk dapatkan publisiti murah.
    Ni saya tengok, nak pimp separuh separuh hati aje, bukannya bling sangat, dan takde gadjet gadjet power cam mobile internet, peti sejuk and petunjuk kiblat automatik…

    Kalo sekadar tu, kedai motor Ah Chong di Taman Desa pun boleh buat….janji ade sponsor…Sori la kengkawan, aku kena click “Meh” sekarang.

      kalau ada masa lebih baik kamu buat kerja yang lebih berfaedah encik Hugo. Nasib baik tak ada butang “meh” utk di klik.

      Ini kerja budak-budak kat R3. Proton still doing R&D works for production cars. R3 is just the in-house tuning arm like what AMG is to Mercedes-Benz and M-Division is to BMW: they take the road car and improve them.
