HOONICORN THE CUSTOM ’STANG THAT SPAWNED MORE THAN 40 MILLION YOUTUBE VIEWS

KEN BLOCK, the undisputed social media king of automotive hijinks, has 45 million views on his Gymkhana Seven video, which was the coming-out party for the Hoonicorn, the wildest 1965 Mustang of all time. Actually, there’s not much Mustang left in this tube-frame AWD beast. It was built to showcase Block’s unparalleled skills in drifting and precision car control, but apparently the 845hp 410ci Ford big block wasn’t quite wild enough for what he had in mind for his next video concept, Climbkhana. Block and his Hoonigan shop have now bolted a pair of Garrett turbos onto the thing and rigged it for methanol. The Hoonicorn V2 now makes 1400hp—enough to vaporize all four tires on demand or rocket it up America’s most famous hill climb: Pikes Peak.

Describing the V2, Block proclaimed it “the absolute most frightening thing I’ve ever driven. I’m not exaggerating. AT ALL. The motor revs and spins my Toyo tires to destruction so quickly that I can’t change the gears fast enough. It’s genuinely a mind-numbing, crazy experience to try to drive this thing. It’s amazing.” This from the guy who does terrifying car stunts for his day job!

To make sure everyone knows the V2 Hoonicorn is new and crazier than ever, Block and his team also decorated it in special reflective stars-and-stripes livery that will never be mistaken for the original black Monster Energy motif. And as pretty as the Hoonicorn is, when you see Block doing his thing on Youtube, you know the Mustang is anything but a trailer queen. If you haven’t watched Climbkhana yet, do it now and prepare to be amazed.
