On their last brochure, Oreca estimates the R4 price between 166.000€ and 181.000€ (according to current usd/eur rate; pages 24/25). That value comprises assembly work costs. The same doc indicates R4 will tend to cost less 20% than a new R5 and exploitations costs are expected to be 35 to 40% lower, like br21 mentioned.

The 15k price gap isn’t explained, but one can guess that 181k is the price Oreca expects top tuners will sell complete cars to costumers.

Anyway, R4 is a needed category and hopefully it’ll bring a new and exciting variety of brands and models to rally. Unfortunately, the base kit inflated price and having just one worldwide supplier can jeopardy R4 future. Time will tell.
