[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

Very bizar news, only on Belgian websites (I wonder IF it is correct?): Renault build an N4 turbocharged Renault Megane:
http://www.autonews-magazine.com/blo...+International
4WD? 2lT? ... ?

There is no 4WD Megáne in stock production. If it's true, it's 2WD car based on Mégane RS.

N4 classe doesn't need to be 4WD. Just needs to have an engine with more than 2000cc capacity (turbo engine in that case)

Could be R4 or R3T.

No, it should be just S2000 car with 1.6T engine. Let's call it downgraded WRC.

Did you ask for a bid or where did you get the price? I couldn’t find any information about the Mini on Prodrive’s web site.

Send them e-mail for an offer..

Could a 2WD car be made (a lot) lighter than a 4WD gr N? Could be good performance on dry asphalt (like in the Kit Car days!)
