Now’s Your Chance To Own Ken Block’s Gymkhana Ford Fiesta
Love him or hate him, Ken Block has put rallying back on the map. With his wild driving style, incredible business nous and big budget projects, Block has become one of the biggest players in motorsport. His series of Gymkhana videos are some of the most popular videos on YouTube, with his ‘Urban Playground’ film currently sitting on over 82 million views.
Part of Block’s success has been his ability to compete in a number of disciplines: rally, rallycross and Gymkhana. To enable him to compete, major rally tuning company M-Sport built Block a Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle (HFHV), which can be transformed into a gravel-spec rally car or Gymkhana hooner quickly and easily. But the best thing about the HFHV? That’s the fact that you could be its next owner, because it’s currently up for sale.
Block’s HFHV is basically a top specification WRC Fiesta, and as it is now, its 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ecoboost engine churns out 600bhp and 664lb ft of torque. The car also features M-Sport ultra-long travel suspension, gravel-specification Brembo brakes, FIA-approved Recaro seats, a Cosworth ECU and a reinforced rear differential - for all those Gymkhana antics.
If you want to buy this incredible multi-discipline weapon, you’ll have to stump up an eye-watering £250,000. Sure, that’s a lot of cash, but how often does an opportunity like this come about? And if you’re seriously interested in the Fiesta, then why not also buy an ex-Colin McRae Subaru to go with it for the start of a perfect rally car collection.

600bhp made by an 2.0l 4 cylinder turbo? How? Does it run on magic or on unicorn farts?
“Looks in wallet”
“Ecoboost”
I bet he’s trading up for a focus RS
Test drive?
