Prodrive Proton WRC
Spotted this online and thought it was quite an interesting bit of rallying history. Seems that, back in the 90's, Proton were considering entering the WRC. So they commissioned Prodrive to build a World Rally Car variant of the Proton Putra.
Proton's WRC effort never went ahead, but two cars were completed by Prodrive and one of them has recently surfaced on the internet:     Pretty awful looking from some angles, but a lot of similarity to the early Impreza World Rally Cars from other angles. Full article is here: Autofreaks - The Proton Rally Car That Never Was
