The
drift machine that starred in Gymkhana Seven was Ken Block's insane Hooniocorn.
Since 845 horsepower apparently wasn't enough, Block has reworked the car into
what he's calling Hoonicorn V2, and it's packing 1,400 horsepower. The stunt
driver must be on a power trip.
The
Hoonicorn V2 still has the same 6.7-liter, 410-cubic-inch V8 at the front, but
the motor has been reworked to run on methanol and bestowed with a custom
twin-turbo setup for a total of 1,400 Hp. The previous Hoonicorn already had
enough power to spin all four tires, by the way.
The
new Hoonicorn V2 is overkill in the best way possible. Block unveiled the
machine on his Facebook page where he gives an overview of the changes that
have been made.
The
vehicle, according to Hoonigan, was made for a new video concept that requires
a vehicle that has more power than the old Hoonicorn. Block claims that this is
the scariest car he's ever driven, and we're inclined to believe the man behind
the Gymkhana series.
Besides
the Hoonicorn V2's demented amount of power, the vehicle has been given a new
livery to match the upcoming video project that is reminiscent to the one found
on Block's 1978 MkII Ford Escort RS.
