I'd love a 6r4. Has anyone managed to build a successful replica I wonder? Donor engine would be a problem... the only other car to use the
same engine is the Jag XJ220 (it had added turbos which you might as well use too )

Bring Back Group B!!!!!!!!
brilliant! love seing these at goodwood fos, great age in rallying, but chuffing dangerous.
Oh Yea Group B. When a car had wings when the drivers drove for days on end. When you only had to build 200. When shivers would run down your spine
just at the sight of a car.
Have i ever said i like the old group B cars. Lol

Hi
Thinking about it the closest home made attempt to a 6R4 i have ever seen was based on a Reliant kitten if i remeber. Sure it used to race in a Oulton
park championship. That would have been around 15 years ago though.
Liam . Lol

A decent replica 6R4 would involve so much 6R4 it'd be expensive, in my opinion.
The AWD system layout along with the drive shaft through the sump makes it all a bit bespoke at the back.
At least the shell would be relatively cheap, although the last V64V in ours was £25K.
