Developed by Williams Grand Prix Engineering, the MG Metro 6R4 is powered by a mid-mounted bespoke 3-litre V6 engine with twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, designed by David Wood. The four-wheel-drive was permanently engaged, and drove separate propshafts to the front and rear differentials. The rear differential was mounted on the side of the engine sump with one driveshaft running through the sump to the nearside rear wheel.
The MG Metro 6R4 competed in the Lombard RAC rally in November 1985, driven by works driver Tony Pond, finished a highly respectable third place, behind two Lancia Delta S4s.

Trivia
- Unlike the other Group B cars, the 6R4 was naturally aspirated (i.e. not having a turbo- or supercharger).
