Which covered production-derived vehicles intended for outright competition in Touring car racing and Rallying.
The Group A cars increase the performance of the Group B cars because they have less power and better in handling at the rough tracks. Group A cars mostly used now days in the rally because these cars are limited-production prototypes.

WRC Rally cars build on production cars cost much bigger prices that you can imagine after the new rules and regulations applied by (FIA). Engine is expensive part of the rally car because it generates more power on dirt track and icy track. Almost ($300k) cost to buildup a good engine for a world rally car. If you are looking to buildup the rally car for (Group B) then engine cost you maximum with all equipment ($150,000).
Turbochargers Cost:
The turbochargers maximum cost $150,000 for WRC rally car. It is a turbine-driven forced induction device that increases an internal combustion engine’s efficiency. The power output by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber that increase the horse power speed of the car.
Now days the WRC Rally cars also use anti-lag systems which feed air directly to the exhaust system. This system is more refined, effective with advanced computer control and also produce less noiser. Antilag System cost almost $10,000 for a rally car its an estimated price no current information is given about the actual cost of antilag system.
The gear box system is totally different for a Rally car as compared to other racing cars. A sequential gearbox will cost you almost $250,000 from a (A class) cars to increase the efficiency and reliability during the turns.
