Preve R3 sepang

Proton’s R3 motorsports division wheeled out their newly prepared Preve race car for its first public appearance.Though the race car was used to offer taxi rides for VIPs at PGMC, the R3 team utilised the opportunity to give it some development mileage before its competition debut at the upcoming Sepang 1000km endurance race in December. According to R3, the Preve race car utilises the same 1.6-litre IAFM race-tuned engine that is used in their Satria Neo race cars. The car has been stripped down to optimum weight and is said to weigh slightly more than a Satria Neo.  hope my car look like this..lol

Toyota’s FT-86 II concept sports car

Toyota had stated that Scion would get its own version of the Toyota’s FT-86 II concept sports car, which was unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. The Japanese car-maker used this year’s New York Auto Show to debut the Scion FRS concept, and it should look quite familiar. “FR-S” stands for “front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport”. Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter Boxer flat-four mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The FR-S rides on sharp 20-inch wheels, hiding an absolutely monstrous set of 18-inch carbon ceramic brake rotors that are fixed to the wheels like a motorcycle. The model shown at the New York Auto Show is definitely a concept, hence why the interior was probably not show. Nevertheless, it previews a new future addition to the Scion family.
