Ken Block’s amazing ‘Hoonicorn’ Ford Mustang is now an RC car

The legendary Hoonicorn Mustang – star of the 'Climbkhana' video at Pikes Peak – has been recreated as a 1:10 scale radio-control car.

Fans of Ken Block’s 1965 Ford Mustang ‘Hoonicorn’ now have a chance to drive their very own version.

Responsible for some of Block’s greatest stunts, including the incredible ‘Climbkhana’ video made at Pikes Peak, the Hoonicorn V2 has become an icon.

It’s now available in 1:10 scale radio-controlled form, thanks to an ongoing partnership with Team Associated.

Unlike the full-size, flame-spitting Hoonicorn V2, the RC version is powered by an electric motor. This is said to be more than powerful enough for ‘tyre-slaying’ action, however, including huge drifts.

It features all-wheel drive, like the real thing, with heavy-duty differentials and adjustable suspension for Hoonigan activities. 

What makes the RC Hoonicorn stand out is a detailed bodyshell. It features replica air intakes, a rear diffuser and turbochargers on top of the 1965 Ford Mustang design.

Replica American Racing VF503 wheels are fitted, with miniature brakes hiding behind them.

To make the RC Hoonicorn V2 more accessible, it is supplied assembled, and comes with almost all the equipment you need. This includes a radio transmitter and receiver, along with a printed and decal-covered body.

Buyers simply need to add a compatible battery pack, although this can be purchased as part of a bundle deal.

The scale Hoonicorn is currently available directly from the Hoonigan online store. Prices start from $359.99 (approx. £300), plus the options of extra batteries and a charger.
