R5 is a factory-built homologated 1.6T rally car, n5 is a proto class car, which use a chassie from one manu and different components from other cars. Mitsu evo engine, 4wd system in a Fiesta r5 replica shell is a popular choice, but there are many others. They say they can be 2-4 times cheaper than the r5.
Keep in mind there are also real factory R5 cars and they don´t cost EUR 180 000,- ;) OK, they don´ t cost twice more, but for sure they cost more then usual customer kits.
Well, i made my calculation based on a medium price of a competitive new R5 car, which i thought is 200k. A multiple Estonian champion (has raced/owned WRC cars, S2000, N`s) is also building himself one (Audi S1) and he said that is could be 2-4 times cheaper, depending on what components are used. Especially when one can save on expensive jobs and doesn`t count them.
Could you please use one of the existing R5/R4/Proto/etc threads?
Finally got everything sorted for Spain. Will be there for the full rally! Five events this year (if I include GB). Not sure that will happen again but a nice way to celebrate the new era.
Genuinely no idea who is going to win this one either.
