The MG Metro 6R4 is one of the icons of Group B era and probably one of the best sounding rally cars ever made. It is powered by a V64V 3.0-litre N/A V6 engine, designed by ex-Cosworth employee David Wood, producing either 250bhp in 'Clubman' form (the street legal version made in order to reach the homologation for Group B class) or 380/410bhp at 9,000 rpm in 'International' tune.
Watch and hear it in action during the 2019 RallyLegend driven by Ray Breen, father of WRC driver Craig Breen, and co-driver Sean Hassett!
If you never watched it, I suggest you this amazing POV video with Craig behind the wheel: • Craig Breen **Helmet C...

Standing in a forest at midnight, there were three unmistakable engine sounds heard in the distance that set the pulse racing and made you forget the mud and rain: the Quattro, the Stratos, and the bellowing 6R4. Magic! :-)

@theoneandonlyparsa Год назад

Out of those three, i think the Stratos sounds the best, i'm a huge fan of that machine and it's also my dream car😉

@PPC4 Год назад

Back in the day when you knew what car was coming next from 2 miles away!

@Adam-ub9nu 10 месяцев назад

Yep. Although I'm more of a Quattro fan, it was always a thrill to be standing ankle-deep in slush in a forest at midnight and to hear that unmistakable 6R4 bellow coming towards you. Tony Pond? Hell, yeah! The Group-B era was a fantastic time for rallying. It's great that so much footage and even some of the cars have survived. So sad that we lost so many drivers.

@slyox66 4 года назад

The 1980's was a fantastic decade for motorsport in general, 1.5 litre turbo Formula 1, Group A Touring cars , Group B Rally cars and Group C Endurance cars. The speed, noise and spectacle of it blows modern motorsport away. Today we have pasteurised, standardised, homogenised, sterile racing which for the most part is not done on track but in pit on banks of computers working out which strategy can beat the other teams strategy. Add in the long lost tracks that actually flowed and encouraged racing and you can pretty much sum it up.

Hi Bozzy.🙋 You're spot-on, mate. This is one of the best sounding rally car engines ever. Headphones are a must to get a true appreciation of the music this beast makes. Sometime this past summer, I believe one of these cars was supposed to be going up for auction, but I never heard the results. It had to be big money, because it only had something like 7 miles on the odometer. Thanks for the link to Craig Breen's POV video, Bozzy. Like any Group B machine, that thing is intense when driven all out.😲 Huge respect for those who are bold enough to give it 100%. I appreciate you and your mates putting in countless hours to produce these great videos.🙏 Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

@ryanriverosantana4970 4 года назад

@@beefcake97 They tried to use N/A engines as they were usually more reliable, had no turbolag, and probably: were cheaper to develop. Although, the worst problem of the 6R4 is probably the wheelbase: it's too short to be competitive in the corners. The car can't powerslide without spinning totally, so it's as hard to drive as a Delta S4, Peugeot 205... etc, but having 100-200 hp less.

@RatchetRalphOfficial 4 года назад

@@ryanriverosantana4970 They did slightly overcome the wheelbase problem by making it as Mid-Engine as they could this made the distribution of power to weight more even.

Defo my favourite Group B nutter motor! Anyone know if theres any recent footage of the Will Gallop rallycross car? Or even if that car is still alive? Gallops 6R4 had a smaller capacity (i think it was 2.3 instead of 3.0?) but had 2 turbos bolted on, upping power to 8-900bhp! I think Gallop was incredibly successful with the car in the late 80s/early 90s.

@DropkickNation 2 года назад

The Metro 6R4 was part of the legendary Group B era in rallying. It arrived at a later stage in that category and sadly never was able to fulfill it's potential, therefore never drove at the front of the pack. But it has found many lovers over the years, with its distinctive design and that gorgeous V6 growl.

@19Bozzy92 4 года назад

No one is filming FOR me. But since I go to many events with other friends, who also have their own RU-vid channels (Italiansupercarvideo, NM2255, MattyB727 or Davide458Italia), we are often doing collaborations in the last years. What does it mean? I do my own recordings and they do their own ones and at the end of the event we exchange each other our clips and material produced. This leads to have more clips of some particular cars we are interested of, we have a better variety of angles and positions and sometimes we have to struggle less. If I did this kind of collaborations, you will see their RU-vid names written on the videos too

I've worked on a lot of these. Never ever heard or known of that happen even once.

My mate's mini thou did suffer a front wheel loss though due to some plum doing the driveshaft nut up apparently with an air tool and tightening it so viciously it fractured the end of the shaft!

I heard that this spicific 6R4 is the International spec, that is between the Clubman spec (around 250hp) and the actual competition car Rover used. (400 bhp) The gearbox should be different also. The 6R4 wasn't designed specially to be fast on the corners, but anyway, probably it's just being driven as careful as possible, in order to not break shafts, the gearbox or engine.

@f2cmadmaxx 4 года назад

@@ryanriverosantana4970 I keep forgetting the Clubman spec is so "low" on power - looks like the reality is the Clubman spec was upped to ~300 with the International putting out around 410. The middle spec (low spec) was called the Clubman 300, it was ~50HP more than the original Clubman at around 250, buit it doesn't look like the original Clubman spec was ever released. They all had 9k redlines though and this one is really just being held back, whichever spec it is.

Those cars had a bad distrubution of power and torque, (65% on the rear, 35% on the front) and the fact that it didn't suffer turbolag made the rear shafts/axles break like butter oftenly, if the engine or the gearbox weren't broken already.
