Ken Block and Ford Motor Company’s exclusive partnership has brought in some real hardware over the past decade in rally and rallycross. 19 race wins plus 17 other podium finishes, 2 X Games medals, well over a billion video views across Block’s social media platforms, and the first ever World Rally Championship points scored for the brand by an American driver. As of January 2021, that exclusivity comes to an end, with Block becoming a free agent. And that means his options behind the wheel are now wide open.
“Working with Ford over the past decade has been awesome.” says Ken Block. “From racing all over the world, to accumulating a half billion views from Gymkhana THREE to Gymkhana TEN, to creating the Emmy nominated series The Gymkhana Files for Amazon Prime - along with building a fleet of Fords including the iconic AWD Mustang Hoonicorn and F-150 Hoonitruck - it’s been a great partnership. It’s simply been a dream come true to work with the company that built the truck that my Dad drove when I was a teenager. I’m super appreciative to Ford for the support over the years, but I am also looking forward to what an unrestricted 2021 holds, and the ability to spread my wings a bit and play with a lot other toys.
2020 was a big year for Block and his Ford vehicles. He took the overall win at Rally Barbados in a WRC2 Ford Fiesta, won his class (and 3rd overall) at Rally Legend in San Marino in his Ford Escort Cossie V2, and also won the first ever Projekt E race of the FIA World RallyCross Championship in Holjes, Sweden, in a Ford Fiesta. Along with winning races, Block and Hoonigan launched the all-new viral video series,- Hoonicorn Vs The World. Spanning 11 episodes, the series features Ken racing his 1965 Ford Mustang RTR Hoonicorn against a variety of wild vehicles including a McLaren Senna and the World’s Fastest Donk. The series has been viewed over 34 million times since its launch in late November.
What does the next chapter have in store? Ken Block and Hoonigan Racing Division will be announcing new partnerships very soon. In the meantime, enjoy this video of Ken’s favorite Ford - the 1,400 horsepower AWD Mustang Hoonicorn V2 - get taken on its “last ride”.

The end of a beautiful car... So many memories
rip fords stock.........
does that mean he's not coming on then?
8:04 wtf is that appearing in the road?!
The fact that when he was doing donuts the subtitles read “music” makes me happy
I really want a Hot Wheels of this monster
Im surprised as soon as he makes a video about his final project about this car he gets millions of views I bet you most of them watching are fake ken block fans
😭
Chevy Hoon Truck please 1969 😃
Ken will always be Ken and it will be something riveting. I'm thinking something electric. What he'll do with an electric's instant torque warps my mind. Ken's tire budget alone would probably pay off my house! ;0
Thank you .....Thank you ( as a single tear leaves my eye)
As the great Dominic toretto once said (one last ride)and(it’s never goodbye salute be familiar)
So we will never know how fast this thing is in the quarter mile?
"Nice guys always finish last shoulda known that gave you my heart and you fucked around and broke that." 😭😭😭
so of kens no longer with ford who's next????
u know that car cant be driven by another person is just for ken block
So what's going to happen now are you selling the hoonicorn
Aye ken! Have u played forza 7?
Bruh i had to watch this in tears
Rise of the V3?
Love the smell of burning tyres nooooo it can't be the end unless you make something even more mental....
y'all should make like a museum type thing with cars y'all have built
So what happens to it? I doubt Ken will get rid of it, but probably can’t be seen driving it if sponsored by another...
Chevy Hoon Truck please 1969 😃
8:04 wtf
6:50 :"it's a brand new car!" "IT'S A '96!"
Give the car away!!!!!!!!
Oh man the hoonicorn gone I will cry myself to sleep for a few weeks
I liked this but I HATE the reason for the video, i hate the break from ford, and i hate they will not be using the hoonicorn mustang or the other fords anymore :(
"It's from the '60s"...perfect example why these wankers are wankers....The only thing from the '60s on this was may be a screw holding a headlight in place...wankers...
You can’t retire her. What will I use in forza for my drag car now 😱😱😂 Farewell my darling, you’ve done us proud.
Hoonicorn vs under-powered cars that will inevitably get beaten. Shit got boring months ago
Hard to see it but I’m pretty sure he’ll come back with something even better 💯😪
Hi l don't give in to the vaccine or the mark of the Anti-Christ . this is a great time to stand up for your rights. Worship the Lord JESUS CHRIST !!!!
so does this mean no Hoonifox??
Where's Hurt??
Why is this happening?
Ford really doesn’t care about its fans😂. They really shat on the mustang name and owners.
I'm new to Ken and hoonigan AND this is not really my thing BUT this is BadAss Addess at it's Finest
Whistlin Diesel “I bought Ken Block’s 1400 HP mustang just to destroy it!”
So what happens to the Hoonicorn now? I hope its not going into some museum. That car was built to be driven, hard.
Fuck the car , the car came alive with ken block only👍👍👍
I don’t know if the terms insane driver is appropriate for ken block ( I have bad English) ken block is a amazing driver , respect ✊ my dream is to have 1/10 of his ability 😁👍👍👍
I would like to see a twin turbo GTR 32 hooligan styled and Ken giving it the max for his next car 👍
Do a giveaway
Noo! That probably means he has to chuck the rest of his fleet. 😬 It has been an epic time watching this beast tear it up, but it's time for it to go😔
i’m calling it rn that the next car is gonna be electric
Wait you guys said no longer working with Ford? Like at all? Does this mean the fox body concept is never coming to fruition?
Soo sad💔
F
if you get ride of the hoonicorn i will un sub
im not sure why this means he cant drive it
KEN! How are you not keeping this car!? It is you! I feel like you're selling your soul.. 😣🤮
Glad he's getting rid of it. He took an old muscle car and made it shit fuck you
Who owns it though?! Easily my favorite car !
It might be a dumb and potentially lethal idea but, I'm curious what kind of time this thing could set at Pike's or the Nurburgring when pressed. But alas sweet prince, may you rest for now.
love this car where is it going to?
I wish I had the same car ...
Ken, your last unicorn 🦄 run should be with a run from the CHP off into the sunset and never seen again.
Wait so what is happening to the Foxbody mustang?
I dOnT hAve A Hªt
This better not be goodbye. I wonder who his new sponsor will be? Hope we don't see him exclusively driving a Kia.
Nooooooooooooooooooo
That’s depressing....
Than now I gotta watch top gear
The design of the scoop was perfect. If you guys went through that many mach ups to choose the design collectively you guy chose perfect
1 of 1 all wheel drive 60s mustang ever built.
Gonna miss ford sponsoring you. If they broke and left u shame on them. But if u left them I am excited for your future. Should get ur daughter sponsored by ford. She will be a drifter even if it isn't pro it in her blood
V2 is better looking imo
Question is now whats next for KEN???
Ken made fiestas cool
What does the ending of your Ford partnership mean for Hoonifox?
This car made my childhood after top gear was ruined
Its a sad day in the Hooniverse. 😪
Hoonicorn vs algone.info/slow/video/e3m0laqCgJB0xIk
So does this mean that the Hoonifox will never happen?
С момента появления мустанга данного ничего нового, надоел уже, все однообразно!
No way this is the final drive, there's still tires left!
An absolute icon of our world 🌎 thank you Ford and Hoonigan and Ken everyone who helped to make the gymkhana series 🙏 you make this shitty world less shitty for so many people and we all dearly thank you guys for your efforts and work
That new yaris looks good
It's a chainsaw on wheels
Nooooooooo @forza why :(
Man I’m honestly crying a little. That’s honestly my favorite looking car
best ever london on top gear pure class forst time ever i seen ken and waz hooked
That car will go down as a half million mile car with only 25 thousand miles actually traveled.
Make a hoonigan gtr next
Still Hoonicorn VS The World
I wish I could have had hooni do donuts around me 😫
Well this is.. d e p r e s s I n g .. news 2 say the least.😞
If kens dropping Ford who is the new partnership with?
Its going electric
I'm sad about this dude it was an amazing time watching you tho
Super cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍 👍 👍 👍
Best driver&car couple ever!!!
Please put it in a Museum
FUCK THAT!!!!
I remember when all this came to light back in 2010. This is genuinely sad to know something that gave me so much joy will no longer be. All the best, Block.
I love this car so much lol, the maintenance costs must be disgusting tho.. but I'd pay it just to have something completely special... this is a special car, very very special car.
I literally never comment on anything. But I own several Ford Performance vehicles. I hope that Ken block is moving on to bigger and better things. Not Ford Performance cheaping out. Lots of trial and error that gets put to work with these cars.
The fact that when he was doing donuts the subtitles read “music” makes me happy
Great video :)
