Fun Facts of the Metro 6R4:

The initial versions of the 6R4 looked almost tame compared with the final, definitive version: As can be seen in this picture, the February 1984 version was based, cosmetically, around the original Metro. The front air dam and sidepods would grow significantly and the rear spoiler had yet to make an appearance. Here, Tony Pond is at the wheel – and he would perform the majority of the test and development driving.
