Is this the most powerful Proton to date??


The Lotus Sports Exige 300RR was built for Lotus' parent company, Proton Cars. Based on the award winning aluminum bonded chassis of the production Elise, the Exige 300RR was Intended to be Lotus' reentry into International level motorsports. The one of a kind Exige 300RR is powered by a 400BHP Swindon built GM V6 derived from a DTM unit. Designed primarily around the Japanese Super GT regulations as well as various national level GT Championships, it's configuration could be easily altered to suit various race series. The Exige 300RR also garnered quite a stellar competition history. It's the only car to win the 12hr Merdeka Millennium Endurance race back to back (2005 & 2006). In 2007, it won the HKS Time Attack challenge in Malaysia, against the all conquering HKS CT230. The car even competed in individual FIA GT and Super GT events in 2005, making it the only race vehicle to have competed in both championships. The car was retired from racing in 2008. This is a rare opportunity to own a modern classic that is bound to appreciate considerably over time.

Function over looks??

This little beast defeated the mighty hks ct230 shows its greatness.. Not sure its the best but 400bhp with 1580 lbs is monstrous power to weight ratio.

Haha.. The stock lotus exige edi 500k... Cant imagine this 'proton' price...

Why cant proton rebadge elise or exige become rakyats sports car? No need go to mitsu or nissan for rebadge. Got own resources but not utilise fully.
