We knew that Ken Block will be driving a heavily modified Ford Mustang in the seventh installment of his Gymkhana video series thanks to a short video that was released last month. However, the news is now official as Ken Block has given us studio pictures of the car, along with some technical info.
The car is a collaborative effort between Block, Hoonigan and RTR – Ford and Monster Energy athlete Vaughn Gittin Jr’s automotive tuning brand – and it is based on a 1965 Ford Mustang notchback.
The ‘Stang is powered by a modified V8 engine pumping out 845 horsepower to all four wheels via a 6-speed Sadev SC90-24 transmission. Visually, it is inspired by the current crop of WRC cars, DTM cars and even toy cars from Block’s youth.
