Submitted by hezeri on Tue, 01/11/2011 - 11:45am

OUR friendly blogger, Funtastickodesign informed us that Proton Sales Blogspot has announced that the R3 inspired Inspira is now available for booking.

It seems that only 100 units are available, though judging from our past experience with the Wira 1.5L SE, Proton might go beyond that if response is good.

Below are the details of the Inspira R3 that we got from the blog and judging from this, our hunch is correct - the Inspira R3 is only focussing on cosmetic changes. We will upload the pictures as soon as it is available.

*Perceived Value of all items above was RM9,000

IT seems that local blog, funtastickodesign has managed to scoop the pictures of the new Inspira R3, this time again from the picture, it is from the popular online classified service, mudah.my

The bodykit certainly makes the Inspira looks meaner, and the choice of wheel design definitely matches the overall lines of the car. In fact, judging from these pictures alone, the Inspira R3 looks hotter than the Mitsubishi Lancer GT!

From the price, we suspect only the Inspira 1.8L Manual is available with the kit. We also heard rumours that a 2.0L Manual version of the Inspira might be introduce later on.

We heard that even some quarters in Proton do not realise the car is already up for bookings. We hope Proton will soon come out with an official statement confirming the availability of this sporty looking sedan.

We are the idiots who bought the first batch of 1.8E with nothing.

 

[Veloc]

Dissapointed... A fan of R3 here... If they just want to make cosmetic changes, should just call it SE or something like the wira SE. R3 and known to have some bump in power, handling, and race stuff like seats and momo T.T

 

[crazykatak]

probably if it's 100 units, they would F.I. the Inspira..ekekekekekeke

somehow due to mitsu+protn agreement not to touch ECU,engine & g/box etc ,R3 cant do much on performance yet . but the jebat with 4B11T/Evo x/ralliart version will take place soon

Hmm this is the first time that this current generation Lancer body look decent in my eyes! And it's on a Proton!
But why dothey do it on the 1.8 and not the 2.0?

 

[EvolutionZ]

the earlier 1.8E came with 2-5 years free service and some cash discounts. this unit no discount and no free service...just bodykit and rims plus tires....so its got pros n cons.

 

[ixeo]

all show no go.. i thought R3 stands for race, rally and research...

this is

show, styling and slow

 

[EvolutionZ]

the 1.8 mt stock quite fast leh....tested the car, not bad...but i dunno how fast is fast for some race car enthusiast....to me its fast and had a very smooth gearshift...

Hahaha, quite true, all show and not as much go. In fact it'll probably be even slower than the std one cause of those big wheels.
