R3 Artiga in the metal and on show at Proton Power of 1

Say hello to the R3 Artiga… again. We previously saw this concept car in Shanghai) and now the Artiga is here, at the Proton Power of 1 in all its metal glory.

There’s a bit more information about the Artiga this time around. We already know that the engine is a supercharged Campro unit that’s good for 180 hp and 240 Nm of torque. The Artiga can do its 0-100 km/h sprint in 7.6 seconds and hits maximum speed at 235 km/h.

The Artiga sports Cusco Zero-3G height and damping adjustable coil-overs at the front and rear, possibly to take advantage of the partnership between Proton and Cusco (read about ithere). Stopping power comes courtesy of Endless ventilated rotors and four pot calipers, but only for the front. The rear is equipped with solid brakes.

It’s not a pure concept car per se; you can see that it is a Satria Neo underneath all that extra body kit. The grille and light assembly has also been revised to make it look more aggressive. The one big difference is the ‘eyebrow’ (indicators?) is now in amber instead of the ‘clear’ as seen in Shanghai. It is eye-catching, nonetheless.

No pictures of the interior though. The car is locked tight when I was making my rounds.

But the Artiga is not here just for show. Proton R3 is conducting a survey to see just how much you like the Artiga and what you think can be improved. Could Proton R3 be launching what could be the hottest Satria Neo yet?

VIDEOS: Proton releases set of P3-21A teaser clips

We showcased this full teaser video earlier by manually recording it from a TV screen at the event itself, but now we’re procured the full HD 1080P versions of the individual teaser clips, which Proton has uploaded online.

UPDATE: We’ve condensed all eight videos into a single continuous video, which we’ve embedded above, to make for easier viewing. If you want to view each video individually, you can find them after the jump.

Proton P3-21A “Sneak Peek” teaser box at Power of 1

It’s almost becoming a tradition for Proton to tease its upcoming models in a “sneak peek” preview box, where the car being teased is hidden in a box, with small peek holes allowing one to catch bite-sized glimpses of what’s inside. This has been done for the past few models already, with the most recent one being the YES 4G edition Proton Inspira at Bukit Bintang.

The P3-21A is the latest car to be teased with the sneak peek box, and you can find it at the company’s Power of 1 event at Bukit Jalil, which runs daily from 10 am to 10 pm until this Sunday, March 18. Do make your way there to check out the exhibits and performances, but for those who are out of state, we’ve snapped some pictures of what can be seen inside when you do take that sneak peek into the box!
