The Hoonicorn's Last Ride? Ken Block's Final Drive in the 1400hp AWD Mustang Hoonicorn V2
Ken Block and Ford Motor Company’s exclusive partnership has brought in some real hardware over the past decade in rally and rallycross. 19 race wins plus 17 other podium finishes, 2 X Games medals, well over a billion video views across Block’s social media platforms, and the first ever World Rally Championship points scored for the brand by an American driver. As of January 2021, that exclusivity comes to an end, with Block becoming a free agent. And that means his options behind the wheel are now wide open.
“Working with Ford over the past decade has been awesome.” says Ken Block. “From racing all over the world, to accumulating a half billion views from Gymkhana THREE to Gymkhana TEN, to creating the Emmy nominated series The Gymkhana Files for Amazon Prime - along with building a fleet of Fords including the iconic AWD Mustang Hoonicorn and F-150 Hoonitruck - it’s been a great partnership. It’s simply been a dream come true to work with the company that built the truck that my Dad drove when I was a teenager. I’m super appreciative to Ford for the support over the years, but I am also looking forward to what an unrestricted 2021 holds, and the ability to spread my wings a bit and play with a lot other toys.
2020 was a big year for Block and his Ford vehicles. He took the overall win at Rally Barbados in a WRC2 Ford Fiesta, won his class (and 3rd overall) at Rally Legend in San Marino in his Ford Escort Cossie V2, and also won the first ever Projekt E race of the FIA World RallyCross Championship in Holjes, Sweden, in a Ford Fiesta. Along with winning races, Block and Hoonigan launched the all-new viral video series,- Hoonicorn Vs The World. Spanning 11 episodes, the series features Ken racing his 1965 Ford Mustang RTR Hoonicorn against a variety of wild vehicles including a McLaren Senna and the World’s Fastest Donk. The series has been viewed over 34 million times since its launch in late November.
What does the next chapter have in store? Ken Block and Hoonigan Racing Division will be announcing new partnerships very soon. In the meantime, enjoy this video of Ken’s favorite Ford - the 1,400 horsepower AWD Mustang Hoonicorn V2 - get taken on its “last ride”.

Drift at Mars Ford tough man .. .
Ken needs to give Mike's 1000 HP C7 a go USfilm Street speed 717
So .... what does the red button do?
Ok ok hear me out. Ford is done right.. but. Dodge could.... fuck it hellcat hoonicorn😳😳😳
It's Been a great run gonna miss the hunicorn.
I'm not crying it's just... It's just... Sobs... Methanol. It's. The methenol in my eyes.
what are you going to do know ken
Now just Monster .. 😑
Noooooo😭😭😭
Are they playing a sound clip of the mustang mach E at the very end?
Why?
Would like to see a Hoon vehicle running on efuels in the future, no electric nonsense. We also need efuels in the UK too, vote for them here petition.parliament.uk/petitions/563118
Is Ken Block leaving Ford because of the new Ford Mustang Mach E bollocks? He only wants to drive proper cars I assume.
Can I have it please
so can i have it now or what?
It's not a goodbye ford just came out with the mach e
why cant you drive it without the ford partnership?
where will the hoonicorn go?
why is it goodbye i dont get it for gods sake i will take that beast till my deathbed if i had that
if someone else drives the Hoonicorn we riot
I would love to have a tee shirt with dual concentric circular rings inside the top of the rings "KEN BLOCK" inside the bottom of the rings "HOONIGAN" and in the middle of the inner circle "DMG" for Drift Master General
Everyone in the comments are so sad (well I am too😭) but anyway, it's not like he's gonna crush the cars guys. They will still be around. The big question is what's going to happen moving forward. I'm curious if itll be another American company of if he'll go jdm. We will just have to wait and see
I'm not crying, you're crying.
You are an artist of adrenaline and I love it ,keep up the good job.
Why?
What did the red button do?
Sorry.... but when did tire smoke equate to performance. I’m so tired of seeing rubber marks on intersections of community streets. Total disrespect for community property. BTW who’s cleaning that shit up? Then farewell to the sycophants that made and supported this form of entertainment. Give me midgets without wings on dirt any day.... that’s talent at its best.
you should have rev hoonicorn to the limiter until engine breaks
Car is square, no curves, you find curves on road
Somebody need to take WHATEVER vehicle that is that's beeping out of reverse! Lol my freaking tinnitus is bad enough!
Why would this be the "last ride" in the 'corn? If I'm not mistaken, Ken/Hoonigan Racing owns it... Not Ford. Am I wrong?

Me driving through blm rallies
"Dom" say goodbye to the Charger "The Curse" (*Fast And Furious)
Sad to see that.... But it's understandable and inevitable... I wonder if Ken will be able to keep the car(s) so we may see them as a cameo in his garage in the future...
Ford ...... Biiiiiiiig mistake.
Surely you make a video blowing up the motor
Supercharger: weeeeeeee Captions: [Music]
And Thats ! Knowing Youre Car ! Kudos !" Long Live Hoonicorn !!!
That's Just Beautiful to a Ford Guy !
Gonna miss the Hoonicofn But , i have a 68 Cougar Grew up with a family owning one the Oldest and Biggest salvage yards in Louisville KY, Abell Auto Parts & Salvage , .... i want to do this with the cougar but try to improve somehow, I Don't Think it's Possible Though !
Mo me I love the hoognicorn
😪😪😪
No way is this real. It will be back
The hoonicorn belongs in the Smithsonian. It's iconic !
Partner up with Toyota
no goodbye
I was going to buy a fiesta ST or RS, but nah. Not if Ford is going to be a bitch about Hoonicorn and Block.
U don't know what Ur talking about
No thanks
Haha great I hope the police have been called REALLY
Keep ur comments respectful community guidelines don't want to know thanks 👍 exactly so 🤮
Supercharger: weeeeeeee Captions: [Music]
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NO GOD PLEASE NO!
Wonder how many sets of tires were burned up during it's life.
How much did it cost? And how much money will it be worth years from NOW?
The music at the end, made it much worse 😢
Bro you are a legend ✌️👍
Y
I'm trying to find Hoonicorn V2 running at a 1/4 mile track? Any info or links would be appreciated. Thanks.
Its a real pity that the AWD Mustang Hoonicorn did not compete against the Ferrari FXX. That would have been the best race of the centenary
Where can I find one of those monsters hats ?
Yes, the Hoonicorn is an amazing car, what car guy would not love everything about it? Except maybe the hype and PR. You know all of the races were carefully selected. I always wanted to see it go against an Alpha & Omega GT-R. I Think the Hoonicorn would of had its clock cleaned. But that would not of made for good PR. So it never happened.
i’m not crying you are:(
@Ken block next project? Audi?
Where is kyle?
Why wouldn't Ford just give him the damned thing?
I remember when all this came to light back in 2010. This is genuinely sad to know something that gave me so much joy will no longer be. All the best, Block.
its not a real good bye because we cant know what will happen in the future, who knows thats many years later he will be a racer again?but i cant know the time, we want to come back
Think how iconic this will be in the future
Go with need for speed plz
What no 1/4 mile runs against Leroy at least see 2 twin turbo cars racing
8:05 Glitch in the Matrix. Left lane near the wide spot. WTF???

An amazing car 🔥
Am confused 😕 is Ken's Car or Fords Car or is a joint custody situation take for weekend drives 🤓🤓🤓
mea, this guy is on a long list of people that i see as a ''i couldnt win in controlled world so i made my own game up''. struggled to qual for main events is what i remember. youd be in the top 10,000 drivers i rekin...just. that we know of. ha, donk
Noooooo
This is an unwelcome surprise. Why end a relationship which brings so much credibility, loyalty and entertainment to a brand. Everyone digs the absolute shit out of any video with Ken Block + Gymkhana + Ford (especially with the Hoonicorn involved.) Those projects are unmatched by anyone. I know it's business. Maybe it was a dispute over $$. Maybe Ford wanted Ken to start doing electric vehicle stuff and Ken told them to stick it. I have no idea. But I'm disappointed. Nothing can match the entertainment value of the Hoonicorn. The visuals, the noise, the AWD and the speed are unmatched by anything which currently exists. I'm disappointed. I watch for future Hoonigan sponsorship deals with my hands over my eyes, occasionally braving a peek through a gap in my fingers.
Nooooo this can't be happening what am I going to do now with my life ,being a mustang owner I love this car I want it👍
I sure hope it’s not a final goodbye for Ken and the Hoonicorn!
I’m not crying, it’s just the methanol in my eyes. 😢
Here lies a car that killed all tires.....
End of an era.......
if anybody asks me to sum up the 20teens in one word i'll have to say 'hoonigan'..... a true icon, piloted by a true modern legend...... thanks for all the laughs you nutters!! edit.....i can't begin to imagine what comes next!!
This better be fake 😢
The disgusted router commercially flash because approval tinctorially increase but a scandalous doctor. berserk, nauseating cry
Just remember, John Wick didn't kill all those people over a Chevy..
Why not try to get in the film fast 10 when they make it
where is the unicorn now
Hoonicorn v3 coming soon
V3 INCOMING ?
Still like it but the fact that its such a douche magnet in Forza7 makes me fume every time I see it now. lol
what happens to the car now?
He sounds like that guy that was trash talking Mike Tyson then got destroyed lol what was his name again?
If Ford taking every single sponsor car because it’s over and Ken Block has a lot of em. They should give him this car as a trophy. It’s not fair :((
Yup I’m not crying either ... 🥺 best car ever
does this mean a hoonicorn v3???????
Stop Fucking around Ken and Get Monster Tajima and Sabastian Loeb and Race your lil pony against The Record Breaking Monster Sport SX-4 and The Peugeot 208 T16!!!
Now that I’ve watched to the end of the video. I really really hope that Ken gets to keep the Hoonicorn. And then whoever he goes to after Ford he does a mythical monster muscle car to truly challenge the hoonicorn. Like an SS Camaro or a Dodge Challenger 😈 Hoonicorn will always be my favorite though
