The French based Oreca preparation company has been issuing concept images showing how the new future rally cars will look when the standardised rally components have been installed. Â
Oreca hold the supply rights for equipment for the FIA’s new R4-Kit rally formula.
Images show a Dacia Sandero and Lada Kalina (pictured above), while the first car to be prepared under the new kit rules will be based on a Toyota Etios. Â
The company is working on objectives to make these four-wheel drive cars cost 30-35% less than the current R5 rally cars, using a 1.6 litre turbo engine producing around 265bhp. Â
It is believed that the Etios was chosen because the Oreca engineer, Olivier Maroselli, a former WCR engineer, had earlier been responsible for the work on the Toyota Etios R5 for the Paraguay Toyota importers.
