Default Ken Block's Mustang

Ken Block goes retro for Gymkhana 7

Drive

Quote:
Ken Block is now galloping with the Mustang stampede.

The rally driver and stuntman was spotted filming the latest instalment of his popular Gymkhana YouTube series in Los Angeles over the weekend.

While the American showman has kept a tight wrap on the production of previous videos, spy photos and videos have leaked out showing he has traded his pocket-rocket Ford Fiesta rally car for a custom-built Mustang, complete with a Mad Max-style supercharger protruding from the bonnet.

While I'm sure it's performance is awesome, that has to be the ugliest mustang I've ever seen.

Cool Ken Block went retro, young fans getting to see a legendary old Mustang in action. The Stang kind of looks like Jesse James built it!

cheers, Maka

I was thinking the same thing. It would look a whole lot better with different wheels. Wheels make or break a car. And it aint made.

Its Noisy, but for 850hp and AWD it doesn't seam particularly fast. Must be those Ken block (hard as hell) compound tyres
