Ford Transit by Ken Block’s
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill Ford
Transit, but a Van-Sport variant, build in collaboration with M-Sport; yes, the
WRC rally team.
Ken Block is flying the Hoonigan Racing
Division’s colors in the FIA World Rallycross Championship at the wheel of a
M-Sport Ford Focus RS. This Transit might not anywhere near as fast, missing
the gazillion horsepower EcoBoost engine, but it certainly doesn’t lack appeal.
As the standard Van Racing model, Block’s signed Transit rolls on a set of OZ racing
wheels - iconic in the rally world, and sits a little closer to the ground
thanks to an Eibach lowered suspension. Its stance and blackened paint scheme
makes it appear like the rallycross model's bodyguard.
Although Block didn’t give too much
information, the vehicle seems to sport its own unique details, including a
plaque attesting its distinctiveness, as well as the custom-made plastic side
strips, wrapped in an intricate pattern.
According to Ken's Instagram, you'll be
able to buy this model (in Europe) starting this fall, making for an
interesting support car, to say the least.
