Article file under http://mysifu.net/news/proton-tuah-kereta-proton-baru/

Proton Tuah is one of the 5 concept cars at KLIMS 10 by Proton and it is actually a clay model, not the real complete car. For the time being, there is no official Proton Tuah specification given and no statement by Proton to produce the Proton Tuah for Malaysian. Among 5 concept cars : Tuah, Jebat, Lekir, Lekiu and Kasturi, The Proton Tuah seems to have the most number of fans due to its very nice exterior design that looks like a luxury and sporty sedan.

Proton Tuah, the front design follow the latest car design trend which stretch the headlamp to connect with the front center grill and the bottom part, looks like Volkwagen Passat.

From the side view, it looks like a Kia Forte but this one is definitely bigger and have smoother curves.

The rear part makes this Proton Tuah looks more amazing with the rear tail lamp like the sports car Mazda RX7 but bigger and fitted with LED lights through acrylic that makes it shine like BMW’s latest tail lamp.
