The work for the rally-going Proton Iriz started in 2016 by Mellors Elliot Motorsports (MEM), so that the car competes in the WRC2 category and the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship (APRC).

Under the hood, the 2019 Iriz features a 4B11T inline-four turbo mill that it gets from the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. However, engine displacement has been reduced from 2.0-litrCheck out 2019 Proton Iriz R5 in WRC 8 video gamee to 1.6-litre, in order to meet R5 class regulations. Other aspects include the all-wheel-drive system and a gearbox from Xtrac, Cosworth electronics, Reiger suspension, and Brembo brakes.

The hatchback first made its debut during the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2017. Since then it has won several national rallies in Britain including the Woodpecker Stage Rally 2019, Forest Rally Stage Goodwood FOS (2017 to 2019), and the season opener Cambrian Rally of the 2018 BTRDA Rally Series.

The 2019 Woodpecker Stage Rally win came after Proton Iriz R5 got FIA homologation that enabled it to participate in the FIA-sanctioned rally, including the ones on the World Rally Championship calendar.
