That's not much less than R5 car which can be used in FIA events.

The problem is that in Argentina when you import a car you pay a huge amount of taxes (don't know exact numbers there, but in Brazil, for example, you end paying around 100% of the value of the car in taxes. So a 200k dollar car end up costing around 400k, excluindg shipping costs). So, in Argentina's case in which a Maxi Rally is almost 100% built there, it's not that close to a R5 car. A Maxi Rally car only has the gearbox, diffs and dampers (in some cases) imported. And it's easier to import those parts paying less tax than importing a full car.

In Paraguay, for example, the taxes paid are a lot lower or non-existant in some cases. That's why there are a lot of S2000 and R5 cars over there.

Surprising move from Argentina's Asn (ACA/CDA): R5’s will be elegible in local championship from 2020 (and allowed this year, without taking points).
