Metro 6R4 video review by autocar.co.uk

[xjohnnyxriverra]

fucking annoying ads...of Toyota Camry..

[shredmaster100]

metros were good little cars and even the normal 1.4 that i drove a few years back was scary round corners because they drive like a mini they are fun and the one i drove would hit 120mph which in a metro is fucking frightening and u can pick one up today for less than the cost of a new gearbox but just dont thrash it too often as all rovers had head gasket problems very expensive when they go wrong lol

[tech9boarder]

found this on dirt 3, and holy shit its fast on the straits, just like he said, lol i was supprised :p

[crazygamer3D]

Love this car

[tttpietje560]

Where can I buy this insane machine?

[originalbort666]

@tttpietje560 cheapest one i found i think was on some classic car site at 80k!

[jaxx831]

Did you know the engine from this car ended up in the XJ220?

Austin Rover withdrew from the rallying scene at the end of the season, but in 1987 all the parts and engines were sold to Tom Walkinshaw Racing, whereupon the V6 engine reappeared under the bonnet of the Jaguar XJ220, this time with turbochargers added

[12valvepower1]

audi power

[jwlevine100]

my stock sti is wayyyy faster

[12valvepower1]

@jwlevine100 its also 30 yrs newer

[mini1988]

@jwlevine100 So your stock jap crap has 380bhp and the torque of a V6?

[cas1029]

why didnt they test the lancia delta s4 :) that one is way better ;)

4 cilinders 1.8 ltr supercharger and turocharger and 480 bhp and only 890 kilo's

[EVILSPAWN1000]

@cas1029 Bcoz this wasn`t a test of "any" rallycars.They were testing Prodrives first 3 rallycars.

[Neutrinoghost]

Hard to believe that Jaguar used this engine in the XJ220.

[Gimmazz]

I was lucky enough to be brought up in the Northumberland hills n I used to LOVE watching these little beasts annihilate the cossies, the scoobies and even the twin engined cortinas in the pennine rallies. Good times :) Awesome car.

[TheBladeofaDemon]

Foust, Grist, Block 

[Taz1451]

@TheBladeofaDemon OMG, they get like 1st place!! In your dreams kid... America SUCKS!

[TheBladeofaDemon]

@Taz1451 Never implied that, I said that there were american rally drivers, nothing more

[TheBladeofaDemon]

@sup3rcars you did not specify group b rallying

[TheBladeofaDemon]

@sup3rcars There are many American rally Drivers

[TheBladeofaDemon]

@sup3rcars my point is that many Americans love Group B, it doesn't matter which car, they were all truly beasts

[TheBladeofaDemon]

@sup3rcars us americans love group b, explain our RS200 fan base

[maurob1979]

group b power

[35yearoldboy]

is there a better vid of the Rothmans Porsche 911 SCRS than the 13 sec. one from autocar?They tested this,the M3 and the 911,but the Porsche seems to be lost:(

[modeldrive]

best man in this car was billy coleman

[Gotyk994]

Back diffuser hanging down? amazing car!

bi-turbo version did 0-100kmh in under 2secs!!!

[MrFreschmaker]

I like the tiers :-)

[Lanciarules]

Metro 64 rally was shit if compared with Lancia Delta S4 and Peugeot 205 T16

[mygrandma9000]

@Lanciarules my moneys on the 205

[Nemesis093781]

Looking forward to the next video. Love Group B rally racing.

[kippo]

how about a ford rs200 next?

[lamborgboy]

What a metro but stupidly thought out

[machinegunmana]

cant wait for the M3

[F1Oversteer]

what a legend, nice to see a review on it. every bit the monster expected and more!

[SozzledTerror]

The 80's rocked. Best music, best Rally cars and best hairdo's...... ;-)

[tonicroatia]

can't wait for the beemer

[alexanderredhead]

What's with the tiny wheels? Tarmac setup?

[TreinKub]

5 people loves nascar :|

[defetz123]

@TreinKub that joke is starting to get seriosly unoriginal and anoying

[obts10]

this when rally cars were exciting.

[daedalx]

awesome. I'll give you $500 for it.

[35yearoldboy]

@daedalx ?? What planet are you from? That far away place called U.S.A? Ever heard of a thing called rally? And if yes,ever heard of a thing called Group B? It lasted from 83 to 86 when it was banned for beeing TOO fast,TOO insane.In the 86 season running cars this size with upto 700 bhp.Google Audi S1 E2 and see if you`ll "give 500 dollars" for that.You(or i for that matter) wouldn`t even be able to get more than 10% of what lives under the hood.At least not on a forrest stage.LEGENDS

[Rogermelly01]

@35yearoldboy I do believe that a group B Audi S1 popped over to show the Yanks how to do a hill climb in style over at Pikes Peak. Destroyed everything

[EVILSPAWN1000]

@Rogermelly01 It did.In 85 they shipped a S1 over,put a woman (Michelle Mouton )behind the wheel and DESTROYED the record time:-D Well,Michelle Mouton was no ordinary woman.My girlfriend has trouble pocketparking,so Mouton prob. had a mans brain:P

[eddohan]

@daedalx

Joking or not? lol

[Marvdogger]

I saw the 911 and 6R4 on the prodrive stand at Goodwood in 2009. The cars alot bigger when you actually standing next to it. Shame the car was plaqued by failures in the 1986 WRC tha engine just was'nt up to it and th driver knew it so they could'nt drive flat out for fear of engine faliure.

[vipersj413]

Look like "Renault 5 Turbo/Copa Turbo", the most popular rally's car used in Europe's land.

Was know like "El creador de viudas" ("The Widow's Maker").

Drivering across France, you can see a lot of "Renault 5 MaxiTurbo", a bigger and powerfull evolution of first one: a collector's desire.

Great video: congratulations!!!

SaludoX.

[joeles69]

that car was the shit in dirt2

[heratus007]

ahh the golden years

[ZeekyBoogyDoog]

Now THESE are race cars :D

[McLarenMercedes]

Group B Rally was insane. The most powerful cars had 600-700hp, and some claim they had more power than the contemporary Formula 1 racecars of the mid 80's.

For the consumers Group B was good too since the rules stipulated a certain number of roadlegal versions had to be built. That's why we saw the Audi Sport Quattro, Peugeot 205T16 (mid engined) and several others.

[ViperVenomACR]

Can't w8 for the BMW

[Spargo]

You guys are so awesome for doing videos like this. We've all seen enough boring new car vids to make our head spin, every car that hits the market will be reviewed by dozens of reviewers, but you've got the balls to go drive classic Group B cars, and answer the questions we've all asked. Please please please don't stop doing these they're so great, you can't find first hand experiences of legends like this very often.

[SammyJ21]

What an amazing machine!!!

[outbackautomotive]

You seen to forget the RS 200, Stratos, Quatro, ETC....

[mrjost55]

Can't wait for the M3!

[poppomatic]

We got one too :)

[Guvi2893]

thumbs up if all u wana see is the M3

[YETICOPTER]

now do the m3

[pakkinen]

in that rothmans livery it looks awesome!! the 3 look awesome actually, brilliant but lethal :)

[PorscheLover87]

This reviewer is cold for a car lover, but not bad.

[FenderUsa]

would be cool if they could test the ultimate and most crazy group b car, the lancia delta s4

[kartkidd]

i much is that worth

[esurfer26]

It was prepared by William F1 Team in the '80. I wonder where is Austin-Rover Group now?

[InitialDAmine]

the video is about cars in which prodrive had participated....

[pretty00lights]

I thought all Group B cars were forced induction??

[Greig300]

Group B. Could watch it anytime any car am hooked.

[wstk123]

Where is the peugeot 205 :(?

[PKmode]

Group B FTW!!!!

[cheyennedogsoldiers]

I remember hiking through Kielder Forest many years ago and almost freezing to death to see these things in action, along with the RS200 and what was that little Peugeot thing?

[LITTILDUFFLEBAGBOY]

@cheyennedogsoldiers no the rs200 was a ford

[anotherone10]

Group B rally was insane

[thatsjustbraw]

pause at 2:51 haha

[masticina]

[powerbook1]

[Molo9000]

"Brilliant but lethal"

[giriphotography]

[santclause1]

Thumbs up to bring back group B.

[StingRayINC]

Old car are fun to drive.....more of those "OMFG, OH SHIT," moment, compare to modern car.

[TheVtieg6]

I bet autocar never thought they would review a metro!

[MichaelTheSilageMan]

Rothmans sponsored a serious number of Rally Cars... I never knew they Sponsered the 6R4 though, I thought that was ComputerVision

[911gt333]

autocar rock`s! thanks!!! keep up

[sonofkikkoman]

ooh wanna see that bmw
