Having gathered steam with its classic Ford Escort recreations, MST will revive the Metro 6R4 with a series of carbon-bodied, V6-engined road cars -
The body is just as cartoonish as the original, with enormous box sections, swollen panels and wings that replicate the Group B car. However, it's now hand crafted entirely from carbonfibre - rather than GRP - by Welsh company Innovative Composites. The use of carbon extends to the inside, with a similar dashboard to the Group B car. A full safety cage has been integrated, too.
The 6R4 used a bespoke, atmospheric 3-litre V6 , and it stood as an outlier amongst monstrous turbocharged Group B cars. The motor was chosen for its linearity and controlled temperatures under load, but MST is likely to offer other engine options besides the rare original unit.Final outputs will depend on the customer’s chosen state of tune, but for reference, the rally cars ran at over 400bhp, with the road-going Clubman spec detuned to 250bhp.
There’s no word on pricing yet, but given the 6R4’s specialised mechanical makeup and full carbon body, expect it to sit in the upper reaches of the restomod market when it rolls out to customers next year.
