Ah, the Persona R seems to be getting sighted more and more often these days. It looks like Proton is ramping up the on road testing, but it must still be quite some time until the launch as there’s still lots of camo on the car. Reader Peter Low sent in these shots of two Persona R prototypes on the highway.

We’ll come to that in a post after this.
