But the FIA docs said nothing about that private teams/tuners could not adapt the chassis to take onboard the R4 kit, did it?
I guess that can be done cheaper than 45 000€ ?

Above that
You need do buy an orginal street car wealding a cage into it and make new mounting poiints for subframe and the car needs a tunnel to fit shaft to rear into it.
Then seats steering wheel etc.
Then build everything together.
So by the time you have finished it will cost nearly the same as an R5.
proberly the price of a second hand R5 yes.
But then how does the R4 car get homologated.
No way you can get a licence plate on a car which has standard fwd and turned into a 4wd car. How is that gonna be solved.
Skoda Ford etc rather sell you an R5 then homologate you're home build R4 car.
When do you think we will see some Oreca R4 mule car testing?
Isn't this the other way around?Quote:

Parts kits available from the beginning of 2017 summer (June '17)

I would not be surprised if there is no car built to test the parts. Engines - dyno, transmissions -they would just use an off the shelf proven sadev etc?, shock absorbers - use proven basic shock absorbers.
How much does it cost to put a brand new R2 Fiesta together now?
If you grap a street fiesta 1.6 fwd with registration plates and build into a R4 and make it 4wd. The car has no official approval for the road anymore. Maybe in other country s it s more easy to get registration.
I know in finland the rally organization gives you plates you can only use during a rally.
