Proton

The stock corporation Proton comes from Malaysia. The company was founded by 1983 as Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional and manufactures automobiles. In the beginning, only own models and techniques were researched, developed and produced, later came the license building based on brands such as Mitsubishi, Citroën and Lotus into the portfolio. In the course of further development, Proton acquired 2003, the British automaker, in the year 100. 22 models in different variants and special editions were launched on the market. The Proton Satria Neo and Putra models are quite popular in tuning workshops here in Germany, as the increase in performance gives a considerable boost. There are even special companies that specialize in vehicle tuning for Proton and Lotus models. Owner clubs are a great way to talk shop, and Europe's own car shows keep the brand popular and well-known. The fact that Lotus traded 1 to 2010 with the brand names "Lotus Racing" and "Lotus F2015 Team" and achieved six times the driver's and seven times the constructors' world championship titles respectively, also contributes significantly to this.
