There was an event called the GLC Open Day held over the weekend of 24-26 June at KL Convention Centre. It was a government effort to educate the public on the unique roles played by various GLCs, and participants included GLICs such as the EPF, Khazanah Nasional and PNB to GLCs like Malaysia Airlines, Axiata, Maybank and national car company Proton. The latter had various activities for visitors, including a car configurator.
This digital application gave visitors to Proton’s booth the chance to customize the physical appearance of selected models, and as you can see here, the upcoming Espire or Persona R mid-sized saloon was among the playthings. Visitors got to switch colours and background, add decals and view the car from all angles. We’re told that Proton had something similar at KLIMS 2010 as well, where they showed the Persona R for the first time as the Tuah concept.
Disguised mules of the Persona R have been spotted regularly on the road, but here’s a chance to view the car from all angles and in various colours never seen before. These visitor-modified images were posted up on Proton’s Facebook page earlier today. While some of the more creative renditions are laughable, the car looks quite neat to us. What do you think?
