Satria R3
The Proton Satria R3 is a Malaysian Proton hatchback sports
version. The term R3
stands for Rally, Race, Research. R3 is a redefined version of Satria Gti by Proton's Racing
development team and also Lotus. It houses the same 1800 cc Mitsubishi 4g93p
engine but has went by some minor adjustments by Lotus handling. Bodyshell has
been improved with double stitch welded monocoque chassis with front and rear
strut tower brace bars. Suspension changes include

Model
Information
The Satria R3, based on the
original Satria (which itself is based on the Mitsubishi Mirage), was
introduced in late 2004. It was conceived as a run-out model of the successful
Satria GTi, and was positioned at the top of the Satria range. Original Stage 1 R3s utilised the
same Mitsubishi-sourced 1.8-litre, inline-4 engine as the Satria GTi (albeit
with a new free-flow exhaust system), producing 140bhp (105kW) and 165Nm of
torque. Power was channeled to the front wheels via a five-speed manual
transmission, also sourced from the GTi. The main modification that
separated the R3 from the GTi was its double stitch welded chassis, which meant
the car was welded twice for increased structural rigidity, aided by the
inclusion of front and rear suspension strut braces. The R3 was also stripped
of its sound-deadening material and driver's airbag, which helped brought the
weight down to just 995kg. Suspension improvements included uprated springs and
dampers, thicker anti-roll bars and lower ride height. The brakes have also been
modified. The ABS has been removed and the original ventilated front discs and
solid rear discs have been replaced by cross-drilled and slotted discs all
round. Improved brake pads were supplied by Mintek Racing. Externally, the R3 can be
differentiated from the GTi by its 16-inch Advanti alloy wheels. Although they
are the same size as those on the GTi, they are now of a five-spoke design with
a gunmetal finish and wrapped in Yokohama Advan AD007 tyres. Also, the
headlamps are smoked and the roof spoiler is now made of carbon fibre. Inside, the R3 has a three-spoke MOMO
Tuner steering wheel, carbon fibre gearknob, titanium-effect trim and Recaro
SR4 seats. All R3s came in Incognito Black
with R3's signature red and silver stripes on the sides, while the interiors of
all cars were trimmed in black and red fabric. Only 150 units were ever
produced. Later, R3 introduced staged
hop-ups for the Satria R3. The two stages (Stage 2 and 3) included a plethora
of more hardcore upgrades for the powertrain and chassis. The carbon fibre parts on the R3
are prone to theft. Many owners resorted to removing these lightweight parts
and replacing them with those from the GTi, refitting them only during special
events. Specification
Performance
Although the performance figures
provided from R3 showed that the Satria R3 was actually slower than the Satria GTi (0-100km/h in 7.2
seconds, 210km/h top speed), it was noted that Proton's performance figures for
the GTi was optimistic.
