Ken Block’s 845-HP Beast Started with eBay Find

It appears those wild stunts Ken Block pulls off in Gymkhana 7 in his Hoonicorn RTR go a lot deeper than his mad skills at the wheel, which are frickin’ mind-boggling alone.

The tricks for his latest video installment, which features the most high-powered all-wheel-drive Mustang ever, included months of heavy planning with the build teams at ASD Motorsports and RTR, according to a Speedhunters report.

How else can you explain turning a 1966 eBay find into an 845-horsepower beast with 700 lb-ft. of torque that turns downtown L.A. into one of the most amazing one-man car shows ever?

In Speedhunters’ exclusive piece, written by an iconic wheel man himself, Vaughn Gittin Jr., the fellow drifter breaks down the complete build-out for the Hoonicorn RTR.

Detailing everything from the gutting of the car to the work by Burkes Metalworks of Christchurch, New Zealand, that helped sculpt the new design, the story gives you a completely different appreciation for Gymkhana 7, which is why it’s worth a full read here.
