I remember seeing a couple in the flesh getting on for 20 years ago now, with all that dreadfull plastic that had been crudely thrown on like a cheap airfix model ............... absolutely loved them to bits then and still do now!!!

I saw one at the Sunseeler rally in Bournmouth last week end & it still looked mad, so different & crazy it has to be cool :-)

Utterly, utterly ludicrous. I love it!

i love everything about them, my fav rally car of all time, wrc stuff doesnt even come close.

heres me marshalling at a rally last year, needless to say it was car 1, an humped everything that day



It was so quick, i almost missed it on this shot



got some realy good shots of it somewhere, but cant find them just now

Absolutely mental car. All Group B machinery is sub-zero IMO

All group B cars are Sub zero!

I used to know a guy who had a roadcar, he had to have an rally intercom installed it was that loud inside(now thats dedication).

Agreed

I saw a few 6R4's in the flesh at the Bournmouth Winter Rally,.....................just awesome!!!!

Even my brother thinks this is cool and he has a french car!...

Just how is that car cool, fast and able yeah but cool...

cool because it just doesn't care about refinement, its all about form following function, doing a job.... and very well at that. Also its a metro and when people see one go by you will never hear them say "pfhhh look at that METRO" theyre more likely to say what was that ??!!!

Its cool.

Got some pics of a minter of these from the Scottish Motorsport Show, will get them posted up laters tonight.

Seconded.

can I vote again? (1 times sub zero isn't enough)

wicked car, loved it when i used to watch the rallycross, when it competed against the rs200, loved it then and still do today, think its the mad styling and the performance of it, very cool car.
