All the group B cars were nuts, Metro 6R4 stands out as one of the silliest.
From memory it was cancelled due to safety concerns?

Toivonen and his co driver died is Corsica IIRC.
Edit: binned it off a corner into a massive drop according to google.

Loved how lancia S4 had two massive turbos and lacked low down power...so what did lancia do....add a supercharger.
The 6R4 is a great vehicle, hand built around the roll cage. I know I say this alot but if you see a real one look at the a posts and how the roll cage goes in the a post. Lots of lovely touches that you don't notice till pointed out.

So who remembers group S rally cars? If you don't, I don't blame you. Group S was to go on from group B. From 200 homologated examples to be built only 10 homologated examples had to be built. The group was cancelled when group B was cancelled.
Fiat created the Lancia Experimental Composite Vehicle 2. Based on the 037 (no got the wrong it based on the delta S4). The 1.8 twin turbo engine had exhaust and inlets on both sides of the head. So each of the twin turbos could feed each side of the single head.
