A land Rover forneceu os seus carros para entrarem em varios filmes . Mas houve um em particular que imortalizou a land rover ... qual foi?
 
Rover Metro 6R4 ?

" When all Group B participants chose the turbocharging route, a British team believed normally aspirated engine could be equally competitive. Austin Rover, as you know, was a falling car maker in the 80s. It did not have the budget to compete with Audi, Peugeot, Lancia and Ford. To save money, it handed the rally project to Williams Grand Prix Team to develop a rally racer based on the appearance of its bread & butter best seller, Metro.
Patrick Head, who is now the technical director of the F1 team, was responsible for the development program. Rover's old V8 was chopped to become a V6, accompanied with many modifications of course, including 24 valves cylinder heads and Cosworth racing pistons. The result was a 3-litre engine developing 250 hp in street form and 410 hp in racing trim.

Like other great rivals, the engine was placed in the middle of the car, driving all 4 wheels, with radiator located behind the big air intake beside the doors. Massive front and rear air foils gave it a distinctive look.

We have no idea how it worked on road. However, in rallying, its best result was just a third place in RAC 1986, which was its debut race. This doesn't mean the non-turbo experiment failed. In fact, without much financial backing, Metro 6R4 had no reason to succeed."
