Description: The Fastest MG Metro 6R4 in the World with around 800Hp/9.800Rpm and therefore one of the most insane Group B Monster still in action, this is Dr. Ian Rowlance´s Twin-Turbo unit, a former Rallycross machine used in period by Arne Rasmushaugen and Bengt Wiklund during the 80/90´s, being after that turned into a full on Time Attack/HillClimb Monster. Placing 2nd Overall during our Quick 60 ShootOut event held at Shelsley Walsh, this genuine Group B machine still uses the original V64V engine but now in 2.8L Twin-Turbocharged form, screaming all the way to almost 10.000Rpm and fitted with a whole host of modern electronics upgrades thanks to 6r4.com. Using Electronic Boost control allowing the power to be turned up from 600bhp to over 800bhp at the turn of a dial (and given the difficult conditions on this day, it certainly benefitted from the lower settings...), this is pretty much the ultimate version of this Legendary Car but still quite Raw as can be seen on the onboard footage, with H-Pattern gearbox and a clutch pedal still being used to their true extent. And one month after this footage was recorded, Dr.Rowlance was once again at Shelsley, now on dry, very grippy conditions and would go on to set a new All Time Outright Closed Car Record of the Hill with a best time of 27.89s, making History with this unbelievable machine. 00:00 - Paddock Footage 01:28 - Onboard Footage / Full Run 03:05 - Onboard Footage / Driver Angle
