We've obtained new details of the jaw-dropping Metro 6R4 MotorsportTools is reviving for 2024: - 450bhp from Audi S4 V6 - 6-speed sequential 'box - Road and race variants on offer - Priced from £295k Have you put your order in?
The MG Metro 6R4, loosely based on the humble Austin Metro, is one of the most notorious – if not successful – Group B rally weapons of the 1980s. It came third in 1985's Lombard RAC Rally, but its unreliable V6 engine kept it off the podium during the 1986 season - during which Group B cars were banned from competing.
Revealed on the company's Facebook account, the new-spec 6R4 will – like MST's Escort-shaped Mk1 and Mk2 – be all but visually identical to its WRC-winning forebear but with a number of modern touches that promise to make it one of next year's most formidable road-going performance cars. Chief among these upgrades will be an all-new carbonfibre body shell, engineered in partnership with New Zealand firm Innovate Composites, designed to the exact dimensions of the original car's glassfibre body.
While MST hasn't yet confirmed weight figures compared to the 1040kg original, the firm did say it would produce lightweight rally and race variants in the future, as well as roadcars with bespoke interior designs. The model will also likely feature a heavily reinforced chassis, as with the company's previous creations.
