Famously known as PROTON’s sportiest product to date, the Satria Neo won an award for its sleek and sporty design. Likewise, the Satria Neo has been successful in domestic racing, as well as regionally; having triumphed in its class at the Merdeka Millenium Endurance Race 2008. It also secured the Championship for both Driver and Team in the 2008 AFOS ATCS1500Max Championship. At the 2009 Intercontinental Rally Challenge, the Proton Satria Neo S2000 achieved a 4th overall finish in the Rally of Russia, and its best result to date, a 2nd overall in the Rally of Scotland.
