Ken Block's New Toy

Can't see a thread for this yet (apologies if I've missed it!), so thought I'd start one up.

Ken Block has revealed his latest gymkhana toy. It is (or perhaps was) a 1965 Mustang...

Here's the specification:

Engine: Roush Yates 410 cubic inch Ford V8, 845 hp/720 lb.ft with ITBs
Transmission: 6-speed Sadev SC90-24 all-wheel drive transmission with a hydraulic handbrake system
Suspension: Custom ASD Motorsports-designed geometry and components
Body: 1965 widebody Ford Mustang designed by RTR, Ken Block and Hoonigan, ASD Motorsports full tubular chassis, ASD Motorsports custom roll-cage, door bars and front/rear suspension mounts, RTR carbon fiber body panels
Wheels: fifteen52 three-piece R40, 18” x10.5”
Tyres: Pirelli Trofeo R, 295/30/18, custom Ken Block compound

845 BHP?!

Bit more info on the car at:

Hoonigan.com - The Hoonicorn

Normally I hate see classics cut up, but this is so wrong its right! Would love to know how they have shoehorned a V8 and 4WD into such a low slung car.

Who's the car guy something Harris? From drive is it?

There's a video of him in the car being taken for a spin with Ken and his face is brilliant.
