http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcO8qvun-rc

The car look really good, it looks much more alive than a Gr N Lancer. Do you know how much extra power these cars will have? Around 50hp more?

[Mirek]

I think no extra power but some hundred kilograms less.

[RICARDO75]

I think no extra power but some hundred kilograms less.

Words from Armindo Araújo after day one in Monza with the new Lancer R4:
"The car is very difficult to drive. It has plenty of power which makes the car more lively"

[Mirek]

I don't know which restrictor was in the car in Monza but in 2011 it should be same as in Gr.N cars.

[Sulland]

Is Ralliart Italy the only tuner building/developing R4 so far, or are others working on it as well ?

[Motorsportfun]

RalliArt-Italy is the only one working on it, and it looks like European importers will join their budget to give RA-I the status of new "RalliArt Europe"... a reference for them, customers, etc...

[mousti]

Probably Colsoul Rallysport will follow . That's still a guess though but history showed that they build new cars very short after the release of a new Lancer .

[navtheace]

So it looks like R4 is all finalised on the rules. With Mit and Subaru ready for 2011?

Is the final decision 33mm or a chance that 34mm will be announced?

[Rallyper]

Is there still classes like the old N2 or N3 classes? And in that case what´s the name? R2N? R3N?

And what about the RXT classes? Is the only difference turbos? E.g. more powered cars with same technical rules but engine? Very much to have control over for the media and spectators. Makes the sport more public, or??
