INSPIRA

PROTON INSPIRA


The Proton Inspira,or previously referred to as Proton New Sedan,or codenamed P3-90Ais an automobile produced by Proton as the successor to the Proton Waja. The Compact car is essentially a rebadged 9th generation (and current) Mitsubishi Lancer.
To be able to do so, Proton renewed a technological transfer agreement with Mitsubishi Motors,[4] an agreement that in the mid-1980s was fundamental to Proton's origins. Proton's inagural model in September 1985, the Proton Saga, was based largely on the 4th generation, and then-current, Mitsubishi Lancer.
Three variants of the Inspira will be produced at Proton's Shah Alam plant: 1.8-litre Manual, 1.8-litre CVT Automatic and 2.0-litre CVT Automatic, with a price range of RM80549, RM 86549 and RM 93999
respectively.


Collaboration With Mitsubishi Motors Corp

Proton group managing director Datuk Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir has reportedly said that it would cost Proton as much as RM700mil (USD230mil) to develop a new car from the ground up but only half the amount via its collaboration with Mitsubishi Motors.[citation needed] This enables the Proton Inspira to be marketed at a cheaper price.[
