Megane Gr N4

[ProRally]

Will this one only come with Asphalt undercarriage, or will it come for Gravel usage as well ?

Only tarmac, due to the design no 15" gravel wheels will fit the car.

I think it will be quicker than clio r3!

As quick as S2000s ???

Just read an article in AutoHebdo, they were at the test (youtube vid) and were able to interview engineers:
- Target is 1260kg, 300hp, 45mkg torque for 80% available in 2000-65000rpm range
- Compared to Clio R3 they want: cheaper, cheaper / km and faster

I hope it will eat Japanese cars for breakfast and also hope we will see guys like Kris Princen in this car.

On wet tarmac hardly..

Yes, it's 2 litre turbo 2WD. R3C has no turbo but has more free rules, so is much lighter, has better gearbox, brakes etc.

So, if my class rules perception is correct, and R3T cars are really R3TB because of 1.6 motors, this Megane could be really a R2TC, with less modifications from normal production cars, but 2.0 motor, couldn´t it?

Megane N4 has nothing to do with the R-classes. It’s in the same class as Mitsubishi and Subaru (N-group N4) with the exception that Megane is 2WD.

Ok, for now. But when the R4 rules are published, Renault could as well make an R4 kit, just like Subaru or Mitsu could do.

My fault then, OldF, but, if that, it´s to be expected than Megane can beat Sub and Mitsub?, because 2WD against 4WD...even on dry tarmac it´s difficult to imagine, isn´t it?, or has got the Megane any technical "compensation" against other N4 cars?

Good cup car and nothing else..

Why do you think it is difficult to imagine 2WD vs 4WD, just look at WRC Catalunya 2010, Gassner Jr. against R3 Clios.
I think Megane N4 should be faster than Clio R3.
