Ken Block's Next Project is the Hoonifox: the Ultimate Fox Body Ford Mustang

A new take on the Hoonicorn idea.

First there was the '60s Ford Mustang Hoonicorn, then the '70s Ford F-150 Hoonitruck. Now Ken Block is tackling the 1980s with his next project, the Hoonifox. It's based on the Fox Body Ford Mustang, and it's just as outrageous as its predecessors, even if it only exists virtually at the moment.

The car was revealed in a YouTube video with Block, Block's colleague Brian Scotto, and designer Ash Thorp. The latter has worked on graphic design for a variety of projects including the video game "Assassin's Creed," the film "Ender's Game," and he was involved in designing the latest Batmobile. In the video, they talk about their various inspirations for this new car, such as wanting to do more iterations of the Hoonicorn, everything 1980s, and stuff they like on other modified cars. They also cover a bit of history of the Fox Body Mustang.
