Fiesta is cheaper than other cars mainly thanks to the recent GBP exchange rate. Since the car is very good and M-Sport offers by far the best service it's definitely a good choice even if Fabia may be a bit faster.

180 was the value announced by Hyundai to the media in order to match FIA 'mandatory' price. It surely costs much more.
It was already said here before: all R5 models are over €200.000; some can reach almost 250.000 in full spec mode.
Did he also told how much he paied for the i20?
i20:
Car 180k base + 55k obligatory extras + 25k gravel kit + extras that could cost between 500 and 25k
Nice info André. So, a full spec tarmac i20 can cost € 260.000! FIA regulatory prices are really a joke…
It looks like PSA is going to take over Opel. In that case I can see very slim chances for R5...
Interesting piece (from Nov '16) comparing R5's and 911's costs, based on Sergio Vallejo experience. A new DS3 costed him €250.000, while rebuild (they're used racing units) 911 prices would get to €200.000. Running costs also cheaper with the 911, even if some parts were pretty expensive. Regrettably 911's become redundant in spain main rally series, so their prices should be now a bit lower.

Maybe but an R5 car for 250.000 euro is no ham sandwich either.
Also the R4 kit is no real replacement for group N cars.
There is no real cost friendly replacement for the group N cars atm.
