Whoa, what do we have here? Just a render, of course, but Theophilus Chin’s latest creation is not completely a flight of fancy – you can do it at home too, soon. Christened ‘Proton S70 GT’ by its creator, the vision was of a high-performance version of the S70<\/a> inspired by the C99 Wira 1.8 EXi DOHC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“That Wira was built to meet the homologation requirement of at least 2,500 units set by the World Rally Championship… I imagine Proton making a performance-oriented S70 called the S70 GT, fitted with the 1.5 TGDi engine from the X50 and X70,” Theo says, adding that his GT spec includes multi-link rear suspension, uprated brakes and 19-inch alloys on lowered suspension.<\/p>\n

He admits that dreams are free, and while rear multi-link suspension (a staple in the C-segment, but the S70<\/a> carries over the Geely Emgrand<\/a>‘s torsion beam, a B-segment sedan default) is a bit of a stretch for modders, the rest of what you see here is actually achievable. <\/p>\n

Big brakes, lowered springs – they’re all available for the X50, and with projected volumes of over 2,000 units per month (Proton’s target), it’s a matter of time before big local tuning companies produce parts for the sedan. Those crazy enough can even attempt an engine swap, from the S70’s 1.5T MPI<\/a> (150 PS\/226 Nm, from the X50 Standard to Premium) to the 1.5 TGDi with 177 PS\/255 Nm, as found in the X50 Flagship<\/a> and X70 MC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Looks wise, Theo gave the S70 a full black grille and a more aggressive front bumper that swaps the BMW G20-style ‘side intakes’ for larger ones for a conventional sporty look. Gloss black trim can be found all around, Honda RS-style, including on the boot wing, which looks like something from a hatchback\/SUV. The roof and wing mirror caps are also in black.<\/p>\n

Finally, the GT gets exposed twin pipes and a diffuser. The actual car’s pipes are hidden deep behind the rear bumper<\/a>, pointing down, a big contrast from the X50’s quad pipes<\/a> (more pipes than cylinders!). What do you think of this ‘S70 GT’? Should Proton do something like this now that they have a suitable sedan base? If they do, let’s hope that it’s more ‘proper’ compared to this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The S70 will be launched on November 28<\/a>. Full details and first impressions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
