Previously we featured a story revealing Gymkhana maestro, Ken Block, swapping his trusty Ford Fiesta for the classic and raw muscle car, the Mustang during the shooting of his latest video in Los Angeles. Now, we have more details of the black “Stang” that is set to make its debut in Gymkhana 7. Everyone, say hello to the “Hoonicorn“.
A collaborative effort between Block, Hoonigan and tuner RTR, the car in this subject is the 1965 Mustang notchback. It features a 410 cubic inch Roush Yates V8 that liberates 845 worth of ponies, mated to a one-off Sadev all-wheel drive system. Supplying the rubber smoke are courtesy of the 18-inch Pirelli Trofeo R tyres. The car was developed for two years and Block is immensely proud of the “Hoonicorn” which dubbed as his best Gymkhana-car he ever had.
The “Hoonicorn” which was inspired by rally cars, German touring cars and even toy cars from Block’s youth, will be put on display in this week’s SEMA show in Las Vegas. Expect tons of sideways and rubber burning action from the “Hoonicorn” in Gymkhana 7, coming to your screens very soon. Stay tuned!
