Kenneth Ken Block, a professional rally driver who skyrocketed to fame in 2009 with his Gymkhana videos across the internet, is the co-founder of DC Shoes and the Head Hoonigan In-Charge at Hoonigan Racing. With a reported net worth of over $200 million (AED 734,630,000), Ken Block’s garage is as flashy as the livery that embellishes his rally cars.
Unlike the garages of A-list tabloid celebrities, Block’s garage doesn’t house the likes of diamond encrusted luxury barges and garish SUVs. Instead, the 13-vehicle line-up is home to some brute power and vehicles that favor function over form. Here are a few that truly took our breath away.
2016 Ford Focus RS RX #43
A build collaboration between Ford Performance, Hoonigan Racing and M-Sport, this particular model is equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 600 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque. All that power, translates to a truly remarkable 0 – 100 km/h time of under 2 seconds.
2015 Ford Fiesta ST RX43
This particular Fiesta has its own fan-following, after all, it is the same vehicle that was used in the Gymkhana six and Gymkhana eight video that was shot in Dubai. Equipped with a 6-speed sequential shift transmission and a Sadev rear differential, the Fiesta ST RX43 is truly special.
2013 Ford F-150 RaptorTrax
Arguably the ultimate snowboarding expedition vehicle, the RaptorTrax debuted in Baldface, Canada. With a 6.2-liter Whipple Supercharged V8 under the hood, it’s good for 600 horsepower and even features custom Ken Block skull logos in the headlights.
1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR
Code named Project Unicorn, the Hoonicorn RTR was developed in collaboration with Vaughn Gittin Jr’s RTR team, to star with Ken Block in Gymkhana seven. Being the first all-wheel-drive performance-built Mustang of its kind, the Hoonicorn RTR produces 845 horsepower and 1,016 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM!
