nothing 100% sure yet, I'll be there next week so I will know more.
RMC Motorsport are the R4's first customer, will fit the kit into Renault Clio

Till the R4 becomes available, Renault Spain is using a Clio N5 (Spain’s version of the Maxi Rally), as RMC is deeply involved on the N5 development. Although they got a similar layout, R4 is expected to be faster, due to a stronger transmission and better brakes.
Btw, besides the Clio, RMC has already build N5 versions of the 208, Fiesta and DS3. JA Suarez (Peugeot ERC driver) has managed to become ’17 spain gravel champion with a 208.
Yes, the head of RMC Motorsport(Roberto Méndez) is at the Oreca facility today.

Looking forward to the Clio!
Car is really nice!
Lets say a new complete R4 costs 150 000€, and you can get a good 2nd hand Fiesta R5 for that price.
It is of course early to say anything about running-, and sparepart costs for the new R4, so a few unknowns still.
What are the reports from drivers on the Oreca R4 testcar? Especially on the engine and feel of the car behaviour?
