Ken Block unveils the ‘Hoonicorn’ RTR

KEN BLOCK has unveiled the ‘Hoonicorn RTR’, his retro modern mash up all wheel drive GYMKHANA seven Ford Mustang.

Hoonigan Racing Division’s Ken Block was pleased to debut his Gymkhana SEVEN car for the first time publicly in the Ford booth at SEMA 2014. The car is the world’s first performance all-wheel drive 1965 Ford Mustang notchback and was created as a result of a collaborative effort between Block, Hoonigan and RTR – fellow Ford and Monster Energy athlete Vaughn Gittin Jr’s automotive tuning brand. The car will share the limelight with Block in his upcoming Gymkhana SEVEN video project.

The menacing machine is based upon a 1965 Ford Mustang notchback – the iconic pony car, which is celebrating its 50^th anniversary this year. The car was heavily modified by RTR and ASD Motorsports to feature a V8 engine with 845 bhp which is mated to a one-off Sadev all-wheel drive system. The styling for the build harnesses a mix of influences  that include the current crop of WRC cars, DTM cars and even toy cars from Block’s youth. These elements were harnessed through a collaborative effort between Block and RTR – since RTR is known for their Mustang expertise – and incorporated into the build.
