Many a visual rendering have emerged from Theophilus Chin, who in recent years has been known for his work on producing visual renditions of alternate forms of cars that already exist.
The first instance of his work published here on paultan.org was the Proton Savvy, of which Theo rendered a sedan version of the hatchback, and today is in fact 20 years to the day his work was first featured on this site.
To mark the occasion, the visual rendering whiz has given the Savvy sedan another go with different perspectives, here offering front and rear three-quarter views of the rendered car. This follows the side profile view of his renditions in 2006.
The pre-facelift Savvy is the version used for this rendition, identifiable by the horizontal slats within its front grille, whereas the facelifted Savvy which was launched in 2007 employs a hexagonal mesh for both upper and lower front inlets.
For the sedan form, the revisions are focused on the rear end of the Savvy. Here, Theo has adapted the rear section of the 2025 Honda Amaze, relocating the licence plate from the Honda’s original position in line with the tail lamps, downwards to the bumper. Theo has also retained the single, central exhaust outlet for this sedan rendition, as on the hatchback.
What do you think of Theophilus Chin’s latest take on a three-box version of the Proton Savvy, 20 years on from his original rendition?

No way!
Still a fugly junk.
Good reminder of the previous old tech, smaller size and low performance,
Glad we have many choices beyond the old tech now, we need to get more too.
Better looking than Saga
Savvy indeed… proton have been beneficial from this platform for the last 20 year and still running on it .. he he .. the Saga continues…
og paultan reader here.
Back in the day, paul would use to say more images after the JUMP. hahahaha.
Never understood what the jump was. Didn’t see any ad
If proton stil solely own by HICOM gang, maybe we get a new generation.. LOL! maybe can add siblings too POTONG KANGKUNG, POTONG BAYAM, POTONG STIM!
Savvy with butt is Saga BLM.
come,
Those whom are lucky enough to experience the Savvy will appreciate the fun and nimble driving experience. Its not fast, its never er meant to be. Its a nippy little car. Its let down by the AMT gb and the material used for the interior.
Engine is as reliable as any japs engine. Problem is that available mechs at that time are still ‘tak pandai tapi buat2 pandai’ when dealing with european engine.
Actually my son still use a 2005 savvy manual. Very solid car, the first to use high tensile steel. Jimat minyak like kancil. Engine still good. Know a formen that can repair amt and continental engines. Cheers
