Ken Block has become widely known around the automotive world for his insane, over-the-top gymkhana drift videos. Throughout most of the series, his heavily altered Ford Fiesta has been his car of choice, but for the seventh installment, he decided to get behind the wheel of a brand-new vehicle: a modded 1965 notchback Mustang! Block recently introduced the high-powered monster at this year's SEMA auto show, where it gained an overflow of attention for its shocking capabilities.
Boasting a mind-blowing 845 horsepower, Block's modified '65 Mustang is an absolute beast. Its 6.7L Ford V-8 engine is so large that it protrudes from the hood and had to be set back to make room for its all-wheel-drive system. The pony car also comes equipped with carbon fiber parts, Pirelli Trofeo Rs tires, a custom roll cage and tubular chassis. These modifications were all made possible due to a collaboration between Block's Hooligan imprint, ASD Motorsports and RTR, who joined forces for the project two years ago.
What started as an old beat up eBay find is now a furious piece of machinery that lives up to its full potential in Block's Gymkhana 7 video. Not convinced? Watch Block take on the streets of L.A. in the Gymkhana 7 video below and we're sure you'll reconsider.
