Someone will have more detail, but i think -

Group N
- Turbo 4wd 2 litre, based on production car with same basic drivetrain as available in showroom. Keeps manual shift, standard bodyshell etc. Inlet restricters keep them to about 280bhp, and they need to be driven (relatively) carefully as they're not as strong as a custom built rally car.

Super 2000
- Normally aspirated 2 litre, limited to 8500 rpm and about 280bhp, all have standardised 4wd drive system bought in from a French company, stronger custom shell based on road car but with flared arches etc and stripped out. Road car does not have to be 4wd. Can be driven harder than Group N but not as advanced or as expensive as a WRC.

WRC
- Turbo 4wd 2 litre, inlet restrictors keep power at about 350bhp. Use anti-lag, advanced suspension and diffs (although no longer electronic "active" diffs like they used to be), custom shell, based on road car bodywork but much stronger and lighter, base production car does not have to be either 4wd or turbo.
