The MG Metro 6R4 was born out of the Group B rallying phenomenon of the Eighties where car makers would stick huge amounts of power into small cars for spectacular results.

Powering the MG Metro 6R4 was a 3-litre V6 engine mounted behind the front seats developing 300bhp in a car which weighed around 1,000kg.

With this mammoth power channelled to all four wheels, it’s thought the MG Metro 6R4 will accelerate from 0-60mph in around three seconds making it one of the world’s fastest road-legal cars.

There's one for sale
http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/classic-car-page.php/carno/50700

For a cool £80,000.

Yes Craig I had notice the five doors - why? And it is all that you say it is.
