Proton Inspira Coupe – next generation Putra?


What do you think – does a two-door Lancer-based Proton Inspira look good? We’ll probably never see such a Proton Putra replacement in real life but heres a good one.

There used to be two-door versions of the Mitsubishi Lancer, but in the past two generations such models have gone missing probably as the world simply stopped buying non-premium 2-door coupes outside of North America, and that’s a market that Mitsubishi isn’t really doing that great in in the first place.

In fact in the C-segment there aren’t that many two-door coupes remaining, I can only think of the Honda Civic Coupe, and the Focus Coupe and the Kia Forte Koup at the moment, and the first two are only sold in North America. It sure would be nice to have a 4B12-powered 2.4 liter Proton Putra or Inspira Coupe! :)

  2. i guess it is not feasible for proton to make it into production. yes, i might looks attractive but if the only potential buyer of the car is pdrm, then, it is hard for proton to cover the cost of development/production. but, if it can be rebadged to, say, VW, Chevvy or even Cherry, then i think proton should consider to built it. it is volume game for proton. it cant price it too high unless it come with bugatti brand.
