When your 845-hp, custom-built all-wheel-drive 1965 Ford Mustang just isn’t cutting it anymore, what’s a forlorn Global Rallycross driver and YouTube star to do? If you’re Ken Block, you send the car back to its maker, Vaughn Gittin, Jr.’s RTR tuning house, for even more power by way of two turbochargers so gigantic that a hood can’t contain them.
What RTR came back with was the original Hoonicorn Mustang used in Block’s Gymkhana 7 video, but with a new paint scheme and 1400 horsepower at the crankshaft. The two turbos stuff 21 psi of boost into the Mustang’s 6.7-liter, methanol-fueled V-8 and poke through the hood on either side of the also-exposed intake manifold.

A new tire sponsorship from Toyo should help alleviate Block’s tire costs, given how four driven wheels and 1400 horsepower and the new “video concept using the Hoonicorn” Block has planned is a recipe for tire consumption previously unknown to mankind. This new video should be interesting, although we aren’t sure what exactly it entails—Block just recently released the ninth Gymkhana installment—but expect plenty of flame-throwing, sideways action.
