Journey Through Technology: The R&D

The R&D centre is kinda huge... Kinda interesting and din't expect that Proton has up-to-date technology too... Hope they solve the window problem... =P

Once in the R&D centre, there're alot of model... from miniature to large scale...

For Proton's 7-seater SUV? I don't believe! Saja wanna hype things up I guess. But if they really can produce such vehicle, I dread to think about the chassis rigidity and sturdiness, how the entire car feels at such staggering pace.

True... I feel that's impossible...

Hey, I've been to the noise chamber before... neat stuff. Yeah like you said, would make a nice place to hear good music :D

- the cabriolet is actually a waja with no roof and slapped-on neo front and rear details. they shud've used the satria neo itself imho :P
