Ken Block’s crazy, hand-built widebody ‘65 Ford Mustang is back! And now it’s sporting twin-turbochargers and running on straight methanol, which means it is now producing an insane 1400hp.

This reworking of the all-wheel-drive Pony Car comes ahead of the next Gymkhana video due to be released September 25 (Los Angeles time), which will feature the “Hoonicorn” blasting up Pikes Peak in Colorado, the site of the famous Pikes Peak Hill Climb.

If you can’t wait for that next full video check out the teaser the Hoonigan boys have released, showing Block thrashing the Mustang around Irwindale Speedway in California with all four tyres absolutely hazing white smoke into the sky.

We’ll bring you more on the next Gymkhana video, the ninth in the series, as soon as it drops!

A love of classic American and European cars drove Iain Kelly to motoring journalism straight out of high school, via the ownership of a tired 1975 HJ Holden Monaro.  For nearly 20 years he has worked on magazines and websites catering to modified late model high-performance Japanese and European tuner cars, as well as traditional hot rods, muscle cars and street machines. Some of these titles include Auto Salon, LSX Tuner, MOTOR, Forged, Freestyle Rides, Roadkill, SPEED, and Street Machine. He counts his trip to the USA to help build Mighty Car Mods’ “Subarute” along with co-authoring their recent book, The Cars of Mighty Car Mods, among his career highlights.  Iain lends his expertise to CarsGuide for a variety of advice projects, along with legitimising his automotive obsession with regular OverSteer contributions. Although his practical skills working on cars is nearly all self-taught, he still loves nothing more than spending quality time in the shed working on his project car, a 1964 Pontiac. He also admits to also having an addiction to E30 BMWs and Subaru Liberty RS Turbos, both of which he has had multiple examples of. With car choices like that, at least his mum thinks he is cool.
