Default accent WRC3

Im in love with that car!!! The only other WRC car that even comes close with looks is the 206.
The performance is amazing as well. Which brings me to my question....
Is it possible to purchase one? Im guessing the price tag can be quite hefty but id be willing to spend it because its such a nice car. I can work 5 jobs.....
If anyone knows anything, please do share...im sure many others are wondering as well.
Im aware of the Asutralian turbocharged accent, and im wondering if theres any way to get that over here and how much. Thanx

Well, they would cost only $500,000 dollars to buy one brand new, but you can buy a used one for a measly $250,000 dollars. Yet I must disagree with you; the 206 is very sexy and so is the Accent, but the Subaru takes the cake.

The only person to own a WRC 3 and not be sponsored by Hyundai is Natalie Barratt. However she managed to score that much money to afford it is amazing... (Former British Rally Champion) She started with a measily Accent WRC, then moved to the WRC2 and now she's got WRC 3 for the next two rallies (Australia & Great Britain)

I heard from a local dealership here in aus that Hyundai Australia are now offerening a Turbo option on accents, basically they have made an option based on the Mach2t. However i am still going full steam ahead with my custom turbo solution!

:smokingeveloped by Hyundai Automotive Distributors Australia (HADA) as a concept prototype using local suppliers, Accent Mach 2T is on show to gauge interest in an affordable, high performance Accent which could better leverage Hyundai¡¦s Accent World Rally program.

Under the hood is a locally developed turbo kit tailored for Accent¡¦s class-topping standard 1.5 litre twin-cam, 16-valve ¡¥Alpha¡¦ engine, boosting power by nearly 50 percent to around 115kW at a moderate eight psi or 0.58 bar boost. Acceleration in the low to mid seven seconds for 0-to-100kph is expected.

The kit comprises a Garrett T25 ball-bearing turbo with air-to-air intercooler, bigger injectors, re-mapped engine control computer, custom-modified airbox for improved cold air induction, an uprated clutch pressure plate and a 2¡¨ exhaust system with a chrome oval end pipe. The kit is in its final development stage and indicative recommended retail price would be around $7800 fitted for a one-off or around $7200 with some low volume sales. If HADA commissioned a small production run, a further price reduction would be likely.

Delivering Accent Mach 2T¡¦s performance to the road is a newly developed prototype HPSS (Hyundai Premium Sports Suspension) which boasts height- and rebound-adjustable, mono-tube high-pressure gas dampers all round, specially tuned coil springs with two springs per rear strut„oa higher rated main coil and a second stage softer tender coil for small bump absorption and around-town ride comfort, uprated stabilizer bars front and rear with the rear adjustable, plus a full front and rear camber kit. The HPSS kit would retail for around $3900 fitted.

Accent Mach 2T¡¦s HPSS lowers the car 50mm front and rear and runs just one degree of negative camber front and rear to optimize contact for the low-profile, unidirectional 205/40 R16 Falken ZE502 tyres on 16¡¨ x 7¡¨ ALT AT190 ¡¥Seven¡¦ alloy wheel rims which together retail for approximately $1400 for a set of four fitted. A chrome front strut tower brace bar is also fitted to help preserve front end geometry in harder going.

A more affordable HSS (Hyundai Sports Suspension) kit comprising new, lower sports coil springs integrated with higher performance strut dampers is also being developed and could retail for under $1400.

A pair of DBA (Disc Brakes Australia) Gold cross-drilled and slotted front disc brake rotors improve braking at the business end of the car via more even pad bite, fade-resisting pad dust and out-gas clearing, better ventilation and lighter mass, all for under $500.

Did a little research hope i helped...

What if i told you that i won the lottery...or that im willing to tie up my parents, sell my current residence, my two vacation houses, the yacht, their cars, my brother, and eventually my parents? And why would it be so much. Im sure theres a civilian version that can be purchased for less. The WRX is similar to the WRC impreza isnt it? appart from major safety modifications and such... Id probably be willing to spend up to 70 grand for the car. I can work 5 12 hour shift jobs!
