Interesting to see the final product.

How long does it take them to build cars?

With the fact it’s for ken block, backed by huge money banks like ford, monster, hoonigan etc I’d say it will be a quick turn around.

I’ve always wondered what a Group B Mustang would have looked like if Ford hadn’t gone with the RS200. I think it would have looked kind of like this.

Here’s an article that goes into it as well. It looks awesome.

If there's anything other than a 5.0 based engine in it (coyote or pushrod) I won't like it.

Ok, i'll allow a voodoo 5.2...

Would be cool if they mated it to a AWD drivetrain? Or maybe V8 RWD with electric front drive?

I'd say it's crazy and expensive....but we all know they have the financial backing and can make happen. Maybe Ford wants to drop a teaser of an AWD hybrid mustang platform?

"The project is based on a late Fox-body Mustang and features “rally-spec” all-wheel-drive power."

AND

"While an engine has yet to be chosen for the sick new ride, Block says that the EcoBoost V6, an electric drivetrain from Ford’s new Mustang Mach-E SUV, or a naturally aspirated Roush Yates V8 engine are all on the list of potential choices. A couple of these engines have been seen in other “Hoon-ified” creations — the 900+ horsepower Hoonitruck is powered by an EcoBoost V6, and the Hoonicorn V1 features an n/a Roush Yates V8."


Taken from the fordmuscle site: https://www.fordmuscle.com/news/ken-b-unveils-wide-body-hoonifox-concept/

My vote is that they'll either choose the Ecoboost or the electrified version. But who knows....??

I bet they go electric. It's the future, so Ford could use some good PR to show we don't need to be afraid.

I really really hope it doesn’t end up electric. I’m sure it will due to Ford pressuring Block to help sell the Mach E drivetrain, but half the experience of drifting is hearing the engine roar.

Writing is on the wall folks. Electrics are on the way.


For the record I don’t actually want it to be electric. My wish is pushrod based v8

Ford heavily sponsors him, so i'd expect it to showcase something they are currently working on it.
Do I think it will be electric or half electric? I doubt it.

I'm good with the future being electric. It's not like I plan on selling my car, so i'll always have something to put gas in.

The mach E is already sold out.
Do I want to drive one? No, but i'd buy one for my wife.

Would I drive that rivian pickup that does tank turns? I sure as hell would (let's hope the electric f150 comes out awesome).

I realize most guys like the sound of an engine, but watch the video's of the volkswagon IDR records, that sound pretty cool too, like a supersized RC race car.
Besides, it's ridiculously fast and simple, something that over the next 10 years will be common.

Hell, most guys here would get outrun by a model X suv right now.

You can choose to embrace it or not. But i'll guess the ones who do not, use flip phones.

Yeah, I got the gist of it and moved on to anticipating the real reveal.

I love badass cars that actually do stuff
