Proton Concept Car To Debut In Geneva
Here is the proton concept car co-design with Italdesign Giugiaro studio and is said to preview a production model. It looks great & we all wish most of the concept elements will make it to the production line with a generous amount of a key ingredient call QUALITY. Here is the story from Autocar UK. :
This is the first picture of a hybrid Proton concept that has been designed by the Italdesign Giugiaro studio and is said to preview a production model.
The four-seat, five-door hatchback is 3550mm in length, but Giugiaro says it is "set to revolutionise traditional segmentation in the car market" and "was developed with the aim of optimising the available onboard space and car access ergonomics".
The car, which is built on an all-new, Giugiaro-designed platform, is higher than a traditional supermini, and has a raised floorpan that accommodates the hybrid system’s batteries at the rear.
The hybrid system includes an internal combustion engine fitted at the front used to recharge the lithium ion batteries, while the drive is fully electric.
Further pictures and details are set to be revealed ahead of its Geneva motor show unveiling on 2 March.
Update: I have found the press release by Italdesigngiugiaro to confirm the car :
