If You’ve Got RM4.5 Million Laying Around, Ken Block Will Sell You His Hoonitruck

Letting the tail out around a corner might not be the quickest way around it but not everyone is a devotee of that religion. One of its most famous disciples is Lord Kensington Block the Third, the Duke of Hooning and third in line to the throne of tyre-slaying.

Kenny of the Block broke the internet with his Gymkhana video series and from the third edition onwards, forged a professional relationship with Ford that resulted in some serious machinery sporting the Blue Oval’s logo but with that unmistakable Block magic.

However, all good things must come to an end and so did Block’s partnership with Ford after a decade. This marked an exodus of his custom-built Ford machines from his ownership.

This includes the Gymkhana 2011 Fiesta, 2013 Fiesta and perhaps the most prized of them all, a rare 1986 Ford RS200 Evo. Ford kept the Hoonicorn Mustang in the divorce and it’s safe to assume the Fox Body Hoonifox Mustang project is dead in the water.

This brings us to the most iconic piece of the collection after the RS200 Evo; the Hoonitruck, a custom 1977 Ford F-150 that doesn’t have much of its original metal left and the star of Gymkhana 10 and Climbkhana 2; his last run with the series before handing over the reigns to madman Travis Pastrana.

Easily the most expensive F-150 of all time, the Hoonitruck is more silhouette racer as everything under that 1977 F-150 skin is attached to a custom tube-framed built from scratch by Detroit Speed with aluminium body panels forming that familiar face.

The star of the show is what’s attached to those two red funnels poking out the bonnet. No V8 here though, it’s pure motorsports grade metal that slays rubber. That engine’s a 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 from the Ford GT but built by the people behind the Ford Racing Ford GT Le Mans development program.

In fact, this very engine actually served as a prototype platform that Ford Performance used for development of the Ford GT that won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016.

With those two massive turbos attached to each bank and feeding a custom aluminum intake manifold that was 3D printed, power comes in at 914hp and 952Nm of torque that obliterates the Toyo rubbers on custom bead-lock wheels at all four corners through a Sadev six-speed transmission.

LBI Limited is handling the sale of the Hoonitruck seeing that it did the same for the other Fords Block has sold.

How much for something that broke the internet and has Block’s signature on the transmission tunnel? A cool USD1.1 million (RM4.5 million).

For that money, you’ll also get a bunch of spares that includes a complete spare engine from the Ford GT Le Mans racing programme. There’re also the usual spares such as wheels, body panels, lights, suspension components and spare tube frame extensions.
