Proton deputy CEO Datuk Lukman Ibrahim wasn’t the only one we managed to catch up with at the national carmaker’s Kuala Terengganu sales carnival – during a brief chat with Tengku Djan Ley, the ‘Prince of Drift’ shared with us some details regarding future offerings that would wear the hallowed R3 badge.

“You will actually see a more unique product based on the Suprima and Preve platform, with the R3 badge on it, in the very near future. We are already working on that with the Proton R&D team,” said the affable R3 team principal, adding that the car would be built on-line.

“This will be the first official mass-produced R3 product, with styling, handling and performance all combined. I’m very excited about it.”



Although Djan was speaking of one model, we’ve already had indication that proper R3 versions (the full sambal belacan, not just R3 exterior bits) of the Preve as well as the Suprima S were in the pipeline.

In an interview with Datuk Lukman during the Suprima S launch event, the deputy CEO intimated that the R3 Preve would debut before the R3 Suprima S, although no timeframe was given. If this does indeed happen, the R3 Preve would then be the first full-on R3 car to be mass-produced.

Yes, the 2012 Satria Neo R3 is built on-line, but underneath its R3 dress, it’s essentially a Neo CPS (although the catalogue offers you an ECU upgrade, custom exhaust and lowered springs).


Full-fledged R3 cars have, for the most part, been halo models – mods were carried out by hand on cars pulled off the line, hence the limited numbers. Now, with the throttle pulled back on its overseas racing programmes, R3 is looking domestic – both in terms of motorsports and the commercial side of things.

In a bid to further commercialise the brand, future R3 models would cater to a wider target market and possibly even be offered in overseas markets, but Djan was quick to add that they would not be less special than R3 cars of yore (in a less hardcore way, surely).

Will the R3 Preve and R3 Suprima S take the six-speed manual-CFE turbo combo as a base to build upon?

Proton Suprima S six-speed manual spotted in Perak!

A reader who declined to be named kindly sent in these pictures of a Proton Suprima S apparently equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox. The car, which was spotted in Perak, is partly camouflaged (why the need for that, we don’t know), but we can see the stick-shift version retains the front fog lamps, projector headlamps and DRLs.

A peek inside reveals a few more things it hasn’t lost – engine start button (beside it is a new mysterious scroll wheel/row of buttons – headlamp leveller? Instrument panel brightness? Pic not clear) and Anthracite leather seats. Another pic shows the “SRS Airbag” fabric sewn onto the side of the seat – this one should have six airbags like the rest.

And of course, there’s the unmistakable manual gear lever, encased in a neat leather gaiter. The gear knob has a satin-finished base on which sits a collar that presumably must be lifted to engage reverse. The R-1-2-3-4-5-6 gearchange pattern is debossed on the top of the gear knob in the Preve/Suprima S font (speedo and rev counter numbers).

Proton deputy CEO Datuk Lukman Ibrahim told us recently that this six-speed manual gearbox (which has been announced for Australia from 2014) will be paired with the turbocharged 1.6 litre CFE engine rather than the non-turbo CPS and IAFM mills (for which five-speed manuals are already available). Like the five-speeders, this six-speeder could very well be supplied by Getrag.
