After losing his previous 1991 Ford Escort Cosworth Group A rallycar to a fire while racing in the summer of 2018, Ken Block knew exactly what he had to do for 2019: build an all-new Cossie! And for his “Cossie V2,” he’s taken all of the things both he and the fans loved about the original Ford Escort Cosworth and has enhanced them in a big way. Block and digital creative Ash Thorp set out to design a modern interpretation of what a Ford Escort RS Cosworth rallycar would look like if the Escort came out today and the current Ford team that designs the World Rally Championship cars were to design it. The result? The Cossie V2. Arguably the most wild-looking Escort RS “Cossie" ever built.

The award winning Hoonitruck was created for GymkhanaTEN, partially out of Block’s general love for trucks, and also as a a tribute to his late father who had the exact same base truck back in the day.

Ken Block’s 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR V2 builds upon where the original Hoonicorn left off. Taking that car that starred in Gymkhana SEVEN, Block and his team have modified the 410 cubic inch Roush Yates Ford V8 heart of the Hoonicorn to now feature a custom twin turbo setup from Garrett that feeds the boost through a custom Switzer Dynamics intake manifold. The end result? 1,400 horsepower that's fed through the Sadev all wheel-drive system. Designed from the start to take a car that was already crazy and make it absolutely insane, Block has done so. Now the Hoonicorn V2 gets ready for its next video project.
