This Proton Satria Neo CPS done up in a yellow paint job ala Proton’s S2000 rally car is being showcased at Plaza Angsana JB, in conjunction with the 2012 Malaysian Rally. This yellow Satria Neo CPS wears a bodykit that might go on sale soon – a tentative price of RM4,xxx has been set and availability as well as the final product will depend on the feedback Proton R3 gets from the visitors at the showcase.
But what’s more interesting is what’s under the hood of this particular concept. A source told us that a limited 300 units production run of a supercharged Satria Neo CPS may go on sale early next year. The Campro CPS engine (not the Campro CFE turbo engine) is supercharged, and apparently peak torque is about 192Nm at 5,900rpm. The supercharger is supposed to have a clutch and will only engage at higher RPMs so it won’t rob power from the crank at low RPMs.
This is not the first time we’ve seen a supercharged Proton Satria Neo. We previously saw a black Satria Neo CPS done up in colors that mimic a Lotus Renault GP F1 car sometime in April 2011. It had a Sprintex supercharger under its hood and power output was stated to be 180 horsepower and 200Nm.
Earlier this year, we saw yet another supercharged Neo at the Proton Power of 1 event, and that car was called the Artiga Concept. Power figures for that car was quoted to be 180 horsepower, which is the same as the 2011 car, but quoted torque figures was higher at 240Nm.
The torque figure from the 2011 car is closer to the figure quoted for this new yellow concept, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this new supercharged Neo continues to be powered by a Sprintex supercharger based kit.

niceeee!
paul…why didnt u cover the r3 preve next to it..
looks amazing ;)
adussssss… setakat tukar “bumper” depan dan belakang, baik tak payah… ini bukan “concept”!!!! Please give a new idea on this Neo.. new look, new style.. not FACELIFT!!!!
they add supercharger la bro..relax la hehe
dey brotha..look under the hood..see what it got..
they do not call this a brand new new satria neo..go and see what AMG or M series..do they change the design?? bumpers only right??
anyway..this is wayyyy better so called TRD version which really sucks big time..
If you care to know, Proton is not trying to sell the look of this Satria neo, but the power under the hood.
Beee..ngap…..
encik yuhuu.baca dulu entry tu. jgn tgk gambar je dan terus komen. dia offer supercharge lah, bukan bumper je. buat malu sendiri ja
adesss… skali ramai “thumb down” arr… hahahaha… first time kene “thumb down” gile2…
p/s: takpa2.. No hard feeling.. Peace… hehehehehe..
no offense… they not only upgraded the facelift but adding supercharger… using cps engine…
it takes a century for Porsche to do drastic design change to their 911 cars.. so this is not new method applied by car manufacturer
“A source told us that a limited 300 units production run of a supercharged Satria Neo CPS may go on sale early next year”
Hope it’s true. I’ll wait for it while can save up some money for d/p. :D
Yeah because Proton really need to produce a special edition ‘ala’ Satria Neo S2000 rally car. IMO Proton’s marketing department really need to use the S2000’s excellent wins and scores as their point to produce this kind of version. Same as celebrating their successes.
haha !! after one week, engine break down.. LOL !!!!
ya loh.. like preve.. not even half year already engine leaking….zzzZZZ
dont care no more….
rm40k for a bodykit and supercharger kit……price about right for Merc or BMW……but for a Proton?
RM4k lah.
4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k 4k
Next time don’t comment la wei, read oso kenot read properly, still want to comment sum more … haish!
4k
bosan…
Love the front look…
Rubbish car.
Rather get VW Polo GTI at RM 166k
rather get veyron at million
*sarcasm*
Veyron at least 10mil bro….
Yeah, get a Pagani Huayra instead better
Prefer VW Polo R WRC !
Mario Gomez. Of course lah u support your own country. I have to say I’m proud of this Neo. And btw, I’m not a rally fan but I’m sure VW Polo GTI didn’t win any rally. Btw, are you really MG? Just asking. :)
yeah…. ford focus is the best hatchback ever…. with ken block do his little kungfu in the the advert… no wonder people would buy a ford… (cuz all the while i assumed jus older citizen will drive one of them) ;p
Hi proton. Neo exterior is awesome, handling amazing. So stop rnd on those. Supercharger? At high rpm? Pls solve low end power. Makes one wonders… Wat rnd is this??? Oh yea and think he to improve fc,… It’s bad in this day n age tech.
Next, total revamp of interior in terms of design, ergonomics. The seats design of it’s headrest is very cacat… It just need just push fwd for better head support. Am so scared of accident coz the neck support is way to behind even at upright position.
Pls, sit in it, feel it… Then think, desogn, rethink, redesign. This is pr only. Bodykit at 4k… Lol, go do some market survey.
this is supercharging cps engine..have u tried the normal cps engine?? it has no problem with low end power..go and try..you’ll find hard for normal car to catch them..
majority even media praises neo handling ability..but not the engine power. the engine is underpowered(the number is there, but pick up and top speed, no) considering the car’s handling ability (no wonder wrc interested with the car).
that’s campro minus, this is cps
the power is there..cps is good. but the car is heavy. just compare the car with swift sport. same amount of power but accelerate faster. i own a proton too. dont just get easily satisfied, even neo r3 barely under 10sec o-100kmh.
This neo cps+supercharger should far better than neo r3 lotus racing…
hope so..
low rpm good power? normal car hardly catch up? you sure you’ve driven or own cps? come on proton. we dont need special edition. just tweak the current CFE with better hp and torque then make it ppl car la.
hehe..go and try..if not, they wont put cps engine in exora..as simple as that
yup,i’ve tested.tht why i’m not impress at all. if you are talking the R3 version then yes i agree it beat a lot normal car.
the interior is not awesome… it is jus ok due to the material they use….
the color matching is worst…
(especially steering wheel & dashboard under trim…)
dark grey plastics with the pvc interior… except for the seat… (really love those in cps… but r3 neo is much better in hugging) ;)
did you see already its interior?
bond to the secrecy act… LoL
nah.. he’s referring to his old satria.. lol
“Pls, sit in it, feel it… Then think, desogn, rethink, redesign. This is pr only. Bodykit at 4k… Lol, go do some market survey.”
it’s supercharged , worth the 4k spent
4k is for body kit only
This yellow Satria Neo CPS wears a bodykit that might go on sale soon – a tentative price of RM4,xxx <— PLS READ CAREFULLY BRO
i believe the bodykit has undergone various testing, like those found on neo cps
it’s not like ordinary bodykit that you just slap it on the car without any functionality and just for the sake of cosmetics.
that justifies the price of 4k IMHO
there are 2 things they must improve:
1) 6 speed manual box
2) lighter kerb weight (satria neo is the heaviest in it class around 1200kg++)
Agreed. That 6 speed manual ‘box is a must in this kind of version.
yeah… and the Golf GTI is around 1400kgs….go figure
Golf GTi is not really in the same class as Satria Neo. The Neo is more comparable to Polo.
copy “Bersih” colour somemore, don’t will get ban in future!
wow.. didn’t know Bersih invented the yellow color…
i saw “supercharged” at the back
so can do less than 10 sec century sprint?
Plenty of NA doing below 8secs d la bro….SC shld look at region of 6-7secs
Can you give some examples of NA 1600cc car below 8secs? Quite interested. Thanks.
yes plenty of NA, namely vios, city, altis, civic, camry, accord, teana, jazz…
just name them , all of them can do less than 8 secs except proton, lol
*sarcasm*
Barlia car. Time for a new model.
This new facelift concept design so odd…
Just look at front design you could notice line gap at side and rear no changed only diffuser is different.
No interior pics? Seen the exterior images circulating on some forums now but no interior.
What about the Preve R3 next to it?
look your pocket.have money u can take ferrari not vw polo. not interested with proton get lost.
Sampah…. or what we call RUBBISH in English
yes u are….
i believe you are the rubbish
that’s you. or in malay we call it awaklah tu
CSL ‘handphone’ memang sampah hahaha!
what they should have done is get new model out. now not even a single thing on that. no spyshot. not cumshots. i mean pictures. ideas or whatever.
and that engine. over reliant on campro. bring out something new.
i prefer they come out model satria Gti that meke our malaysia Proud. supercharge really sound delicious but proton make too much version of this satria ,is time for new model with bigger chassis and mature design.
Rm4k for body kit is not bad. That is we called RARE
Would prefer if Proton made a completely new car, but I guess this is better than nothing.
Happy that Proton is upgrading the engine though. But pls, give us a 6 spd manual with the car!!!!!
And sequential! :)
Neo is actually a nice car. Engine needs to get a life and the f/c not really good. Get a facelift and a new interior…. It will look good for second half of life….
better interior ergonomics..especially for a tall driver.
how much for front bumper only?
really fallen in lurve with satria neo chasis and handling…
got one white cps and the maintenance is quite cheap…
but what i’m waiting for is rwd neo… couldn’t be better setting for this little devil…
this had kept me asking and thinking…
why in da world they did not make it rwd?
is it hard? or the space is jus never enough to put a shaft there? ( cuz we all know all satrias from old model till the new model have quite a big hump in da middle)
please proton… make a rwd instead of turbo dis and dat….
nevertheless its still an improvement we should be proud of.. ;)
dun rush them la.. they need to take care of the engine/trans tech first looo…. when taken care 6-wheel drive also can LOL/ makes me wonder, has anyone on a neo done a 4wd mod? The cost shld be SKY-HIGH
First, 6 speed manual. Second, fuel consumption of minimum 13.5km/l in city driving. Third, brake must be improved to competition level 100km/h to 0km/h be no more than 38m. Fourth, since it is bolt-on for after-market business, please provide 2 choices, supercharged and turbocharged because different racer has their preferred appetite on track. Fifth and finally, whatever force induction, please ensure performance is realized, 0km/h to 100km/h in sub-7.
bodykit for RM4,XXX?? Dont tell me RM4,999?? Do market survey la Proton.. =.=’
supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged,supercharged
if the body-kit made from fiber carbon..!! RM4,999 really cheap… but if from plastic or rubber or PVC not really expensive…
Better to put ESC, promote it as “SATRIA NEO CPS with ESC”. It will educate more Malaysian towards SAFETY.
I think it’s not that difficult for Proton to put ESC to Satria Neo, since they manage to put ESC to Saga FLX (Australian market).
Then put ESC also in Exora. That will be truely awesome.
Ah it juz dawned on me…the custom made matte orange WWW1 must be SC lah…..
the tail lamp shld also be smoked to match the headlamps…
Should just turbo to 170hp@5500 and 230nm@2000 better mah
to improve low rpm power, twin screw supercharger might be better, but for high rpm power, cetrifugal type is a better choice due to more compact and cheaper.
im proud
No more concept car please…..just launch the bloody car..aiyooo…tired of teaser…
I heard that full set of Saga R3 bodykit is about RM3K…hmm…wondering what material it is…
but anyway,this satria looks AWESOME!!
For Gen2 bodykits, it is FRP, as stated at Proton’s website.
Wow,FRP is good…but izzit the Saga R3 bodykit is FRP as well?Because I was considering to get a full set of R3 bodykit for my FLX…
yeah yeah…limited edition again, how many limited edition were there before this? lotus racing limited edition,lotus edition, then the red coloured R3 edition (with supercharger) and now this limited edition again also with supercharger. Seems like P1 just trying to make some hype and suck public people’s money again.
it can be called collector’s item i would say…
so for someone who don’t have money or don’t like it, just don’t bother to say this and that.
collector’s item? no money you said??? have u look into the price on the previous limited Neo??? The price is just crazy high and unjust…it’s not about no money it’s the overhype price comparing to it’s value.Heck, i have the financial ability to afford buying this car with cash on the spot just so you know before saying i gives negative comments and disapproval of this car merely based on your own naive assumption that i can’t afford it. So yeah, polo also got few variants but it’s damn worth it the for the R&D and investment put into the car itself.This car i’m sorry to say that i can’t see it.
Just so you know,i can buy Jaguar XK-R with cash on the spot too.
Jaguar XK-R??? and what does that got to do with the above argument?By the way, it is good to know there are a lot of people also feels and commented the same way rather than being a blind supporter.
why you can say that you can buy XXX car WITH CASH ON THE SPOT but i can’t?no one knows whether you are telling the truth or just a lie.it’s just a cheapo statement made by desperate peoples.Just so you know.
Your first comment is cheapo statement while mine is a sarcasm.Just so you know.
to Rachel,
First of all,I feel good for you if u can really afford to buy a Jaguar XK-R by cash on the spot.You have certainly been blessed if it is so. But before you start being sarcastic, mind you that please read my comment properly. Did I in anyway FORBID you to say that you can ‘t give comment about buying a Jag car with cash on the spot?I was questioning the motive of your statement cause i can’t see the relevant of your statement to the argument above.
secondly, are you the same person as zambrotat? why I ask this you may ask? cause the way you behave in giving statement are quite similar in the sense that both also underestimating and insulting by saying other people desperate, can’t afford and giving baseless claim simply by your own assumption.Another doubt that arise is why are you feeling offended when by my comments towards zambrotat?
Thirdly, why are you so biased in giving comments by saying my comments are cheapo? Did I insulted or talk cheap of the zambrotat and yourself?NO in case you haven’t noticed, it is he that talk cheap of me, I never give any insulting comments towards him nor on yourself. It is you both that didn’t address to this argument objectively and start talking bad about me.
In case you still haven’t figured it out, let me make a simple statement so you can understand my argument on this topic (again not insulting anybody). I’m exited that our national car has embark into next phase of car development by introducing Force Induction system to the public making the car more sportier especially for the younger generation which fancies sportiness feel. It is a good path BUT Proton should price it accordingly and realistically not purposely market it as LIMITED EDITION and milking the public money based on PROTON NEO S2000 achievement.Tell me seriously with your concious, basing on previous NEO limited edition pricing, do you really feel the car is priced correctly?IMHO i still hold firm to my earlier decision and i feel no shame to admit the answer is NO .
I hope that whoever read my comment please rate my contents objectively not based on pure fanboyism. I apologized if I indeed offended anyone with my comments. Peace and take care.
commercial car as collector item? How intriguing. Collector’s item has its own defined characteristics to be called as such. This one is just another appearance upgrade so your neo won’t look like your neighbour’s neo, unlike R3 Lotus and CPS R3.
collector’s item, sigh *facepalm*
On a serious note, release a 2012 neo already proton. Your words back in 2011 over proton neo staying in production is withering and making people nuts!
you have to count how many polo and gold have their editions too, and of course countless myvi editions, so why not proton?
they can produce as many as editions they want. Heck they can even produce “collector’s edition” touring ver. watever ver. they think will boost their profit and reputation if they want.
The problem is the baseline model is not even in stock. Myvi does. VW does. So why not Proton?
“It had a Sprintex supercharger under its hood and power output was stated to be 180 horsepower and 200Nm.”
– That is pathetic HP and torque! Get over 500 hp then only talk about supercharged this and that!
Are you Joe Ooi? That annoying fella who used to comment here.
Other “classic” fellas are the yaumougaochor fella and of course Julian Lee
More pathetic are with so many editions this and that!
tell that to other car makers, pretty same
– That is pathetic HP and torque! Get over 1500 hp then only talk about supercharged this and that!
–FIXED–
– That is pathetic HP and torque! Get over 9000 hp then only talk about supercharged this and that!
–FIXED–
those who not bought R3 wouldn’t know this special thing…
those number in the brochure is for the damn stock number..
you can actually send your cps r3 for an engine re-tuned at Shah Alam sc.. but that is after the manifold change… the hp number could went up to 170hp for just a mild ecu optimization… and that is the safest they tried…. anyone suprise? so no need to go baria ws to re-tune your engine and caused your engine breakdown…. ;p
so from my personal preference i would think for this SC edition that would be their damn stock number as well….
(btw… i hate proton sc…. so so soo NOT efficient in their works… esp the one located at seremban.. ) huhuhuhuhuhu
Eh….. you’re back !?!
4 upgrade specs, 3 concept designs using 6+ y/o current model base chassis and not a single “guaranteed-launched-to-be” new model/facelifted for the past years.
You don’t even have cps in factory stock for customer to buy yet you release yet another bodykit for it (?).
As much as every proton enthusiast excited with all these release, what kind of marketing blasphemy is this? Teasers all the way to the moon.
improved & Far better than ARTIGA bodykit
I suggest all those who haven’t to take a drive in the Satria GTI, or the R3 versions, even the unloved Savvy and if you’re lucky a Lotus. Then you would realize what these cars are all about.
I’m expecting this to be the best one from the boys at Proton by far. No need to draw comparisons with the big boys just yet but we’re on our way. I want one!
any engine bay picture??
& proton told us they stop producing neo long time ago. free up production floor for other models with higher sales volume blablabla. looking hi & lo for 6++ months last year but can’t find new stock of neo cps.
SUDDENLY…where on earth do they get 300 neos for this limited SC? huh?
exactly my point. I wonder what’s in their mind..
Their counterpart…Youngman of PRC!
hopefully this one gets into production. i’m no basher but I’ve seen enough concepts of neo installed with turbocharger or supercharger, heck, there are already 4 concepts including this yellow one if i’m not mistaken.
here are the proofs:
http://paultan.org/2010/12/03/proton-satria-neo-r3-concept-at-klims-200-hp-250-nm/
http://paultan.org/2011/04/11/proton-satria-neo-r3-supercharged-180-hp-200-nm/
http://paultan.org/2011/04/21/youngman-artiga/
unfortunately, none of them made it into production, citing reliability issue as the main reason.
i’m getting tired with all these concepts, R3 team should have learnt enough whether Neo can actually handle the power from those earlier failed concepts. time to make this one into production, but if this one fails again, then stop wasting Proton’s R&D money.
whats the biggest problem itself is the engine…
it can have the hp output far more than normal 1.6 … but then its too fragile to take on further modification… they should put more effort on the material research….
hummm… seems likes its still a long way to go….
The white rim is just way too ugly!
What Proton really need is Satria Neo “Sell in Big Numbers in the whole world that eat Golf GTI, Ford Focus ST in performance and interior quality” edition
bumble bee asia?
Well, well…another Satria Neo ‘special’ in the pipeline…let’s see…we already have several of those running around…the Neo CPS, Neo R3, Neo Lotus Edition and now the supercharged Neo S2000 (with 3-4 versions/concepts & counting!). Just why P1 is so hung up on this particular model is anybody’s guess really…
Yes, the Neo S2000 does look the business with that outlandish bodykit and bright yellow paint job…arguably P1’s ‘hero car’…but for the observant, you can’t deny the obvious design oversight. I’ve long held that the Neo’s extremely low roofline/side profile (chop-top) looks very awkward as it is…no amount of huge bodykits & over-flared arches can hide this fact, unfortunately…(compare the Neo with other hatches and you’ll know…)
Of course, when they eventually roll out the S2000 next year…I’m really keen to see how the supercharged CPS performance & reliability stand up to real world conditions…
Oh…and maybe if this hot-up Neo is all it’s cracked up to be, I’m also very partial to the idea of seeing this Neo mix it up with the big boys, in a proper group test of course…with bragging rights up for grabs…
supercharged la turbocharged la…no meaning if crankshaft positioning sensor always got problem…try to get reliability title first..then people will consider…rakyat bukan org kaya asyik mau repair kereta sahaja.
Hahaha.. rite. My sister persona (50k km mileage)baru kena that crank sensor problem last friday nite. Kesian dier tunggu kt parking tesco tunggu tow truck dtg..with boot full of groceries.
wowwwwwwwwwwwwww…
i am so gonna buy it.. if (hehehe)
0. NEW INTERIOR (seat look promising thou), esp. dashboard, glove box & door panel. make it as dull as it can as long as it relevant..ni ape bulat2 lekok situ sini, buat bazir ruang!!! heck mae it look like mini interior, doesnt matter…

Next time we want twin charged…Turbocharged+Supercharged…With max hp around 230-260…Tu barulahh kereta sport….
woow now thats what i call a car…..it is just stunning
y proton big head’s no brain? y they have to use old engine 1.6.u have done the best copy cat we consider the best of the best satria gti 1.8 y we have to down grade the engine frm 18 to 1.6 still the old gti can take off the so cal CPS,NEO,S2000. GUYS PLS OPEN UP UR BR…. WE ARE NOT 3,WORLD COUNTRY, WHEN WE C CARS IN OTHER COUNTRYS AND COMPARE TO OUR OWN PRODUCTION ,ABIT SHAME .
Wow this nice supercharger they are pro and con but scharge have advantage over turbo where scharged no lag at all and can be turn on right straight from the start.but guy who buy scharged don’t care the fuel consumption as they buy just for performance.
nice work proton…you make neo even better
Just give proton a chance. At least they are trying. Something refreshing
