Ken Block's Hoonipigasus FIRST START!! Pikes Peak Hill Climb Monster in the Making! 

it plays REALLYYYY well in Forza 🤣🤣🤣 absolutely buzz killed Hert

Need that on a sticker so I can slap it on my car

@@Jax2777 great idea😂

Are. There still amazing

Still are 👊

En France,on aime 👍 RIP Ken

Are

He’s not dead he’s just tired of the media

It's almost as bad as that fire breathing carbon fiber all AWD 4 rotor monster you've built. That car is the baddest thing I have ever seen man.

Rob at least you can take heart in the fact YOU conceived and BUILT your own weapon of choice!

Rear engine rotary awd incoming LOL

now we need a race between the rx7 and the hoonipigasus =)

@@jmax8692 You seem jealous

@@jmax8692 damn, I guess someone peed in your cheerios today.

Bias or not. your right

Hoonicorn still king

Nah Ford was better hoonicorn forever.

I'd love to see someone like Tanner Foust or Sebastian Leob drive it that can actually drive .

@@PaceWorks ok bud. ken block could drive a shopping cart faster than you could drive the hoonicorn

to be fair, it's not really a new car for ken, he uses the same exact 4 wheel drive train in all his cars, so there is very little that changes in regards to feel, unless you get down to tyre differences and engine power depending on tuning. imagine you have an RC car and all you do is change the shell on the top so it looks different.. that's ken's life. if that car had remained as lets say an original rear wheel drive porsche then i would agree with you as that would not be what he drives all the time and he would have to "learn a new car".

@@ribbitism You have no idea what you're talking about and its hilarious. For starters the Porsche is mid engine and the Hoonicorn was obviously front engine. Also vastly different wheelbases. I cant find a lot of specs on the Porsche because its so new, but they are VERY different cars. Just because they are both all wheel drive, doesn't mean they are the same car. Indycars use the same everything and teams win based off just setup of the car alone. Also they don't have this car setup yet let alone dialed in and ken feeling comfortable in it.

@@dead_redux 🤣 No he couldn't lad I beat him in my 2wd civic on every stage in Donegal rally in 2019 👍 and him in a 4wd escort cosworth he's a great business man and great at marketing but thers far better drivers out there than him 👌

Nice car epic

I'm calling it. Lia Block ~ 5 years from now.. With the HoonaFrog. A green widebodied FoxBody based HillClimb monster.

Hmm, my Hillman Imp would eat that thing for breakfast, i could smoke that in reverse.

@@fredzep01 good for you bro

😂😂😂

I didn't notice till I saw this comment and now I can't unhear it

Kinda like the DSG farts my GTI likes to make lol

the squeals are the gearing and fuel system

@@e1dsd720 it's still interesting that it sounds a bit like a pig considering the nickname

Lah ngakak

that *BIG hahaahaa* meant NO 😄😋

@@Navyguy that was more of a "dont even think about it" 😂

@@chadmacdonald106 who even are you lmao

The "Hoonigan" crew tends to break cars when they drive them. On top of that, Ken drives cars worth way more than all of the "Hoonigans" car collections.

Please just let us see it!!!

I don't think he can 'let someone drive it', I think he's the only one who can drive it with that particular contract

@@GetOffMyLog His daughter drives it. I’m sure he can let Hert do the same.

@@Chris-zp6eh his daughter is a registered professional driver under his contract also she can drive all his cars

Could he fit? Would he break it?

Deqd flies on the side windows... lol

Lia got to give the Hoonipigasus the full Hoonigan send on a cold engine and it was glorious, ripping through the gears like a motorcycle. You can tell they're running a compound turbo by the way the power peaks on the top end. I was so relieved to see Lia go full throttle at the Summit of Pikes Peak after watching it lug around the base like a naturally aspirated engine

Fantastic insight my man. I’d wager ken is intimately aware with Senna saying this.

One minute Ken was cutting fresh powder and then he was gone. Back country skiing is something else entirely

Until Hert replied "id smash it" honesty isnt always the best policy Hert! We remember when you caught his wifes Bronco on fire....

Just Let hi drive it! Best video!

Eh, they'll figure it out. The end of the video they started chatting a little about the setup needing work. These porsches were never really known for their rear stability lol

@@Bwillev Well, there is nothing Porsche left in there besides the roof skin and the engine. Early 911s were known for off lift off over steer because of the rear weight bias. This one is mid engine so that eliminates a big part of that old issue.

@@Bwillev this one is all wheel drive

I guess you don't know about the suspension system lol. It goes off GPS data. Not like they have the same data for this random track. The auto adjustments aren't displayed in this video

@@binkleyme I know that, but they way it is set up, only the ride height is adjusted. It cannot make geometry or damping changes on the fly. They basically just have a hydraulic actuator where the third spring would usually be on an F1 car or Prototype.

When the budget is infinite I bet it does

Scotto's RWB will always be special, because it was the first RWB built outside Japan.

I'd rather FuelMe make it for the extreme detail. Or Tarmac Works, PGM, even Truescale, Ignition. But Tarmac and FuelMe seem to be super into Porsche. 🤞

Honestly tho I’m suprised hot wheel hasn’t jumped onto the whole hoonigan line up. We got the Baja beetle but I’d like to see premiums of everyone’s car at hoonigan. Scotto’s 911, hertz Fc/ae86, vins bmw.

@@aconstantdread5677 well Scotto's rwb is on other platforms with really high detail, but at a higher price ~$70. I'm growing away from Mattel and enjoying premium brand details. The hoonicorn is made by another chinese brand I forget which atm. If hot wheels did it then I'd want twerkstallion as an rlc release. It needs that chrome plated body and Spectraflame Red to make that car stand out. Mattel hasn't used their rwb Porsche 930 casting since 2020 so bad chance licensing issues came up. That means no Scotto RWB for mattel.

well, typically traditional rear engine Porsches do that, this one is mid engine, still snappy but not the cliche porsche oversteer.

@@AmbientMike all Porsches have a snap. The Cayman is a "mid engine" and their Cayman Cup racecars are even more snappy than their GT3 ones. Having a heavy weight behind your CG and rotation point makes a car snappy. It happens because centrifugal forces are pulling your car's ass sideways. The only way you control those forces is through cornering speed.

@@David-xl8zf I'm well aware, however the stereotypical snap is related to old rear engine 911, but yes, mod engine will inherently also have more oversteer

@@AmbientMike rear engine cars will always have more natural oversteer than mid engine for obvious reasons of all the weight being in the rear transferring forces side to side in cornering. Mid engine have plenty of oversteer as well. Put some nice front and rear toe, camber and caster this thing is gona be a monster machine period

@@AmbientMike yeh cos you totally know how this car handles

The hoonicorn would blow the doors off this thing in a straight line. It's a hill climb car. It's most likely geared for acceleration rather than speed.

ken vs Lia episode

@@twizz420 Hoonipig has a metric fuk-tonne more aero than the Corn'. I would imagine that would slow it down at higher speeds compared to the Corn' however around a track I cant see the Mustang keeping up with this Porka.

Absolutely. Culminating in a showdown against Sebastian Loeb in his PP Peugeot. Yes, Seb would win by a minute because he’s Seb. But we still want to see it.

The 'rusty' bar under the window is actually there from factory to hold the dash up.

@@seanbailey8545 either way man, waaaay too much money and effort that went into that car to leave that bar raw metal.

@@spencerdauphine970 in high end race cars like that you don't paint anything structural because if it starts to crack you want to be able to see it

I don't really trust that older Porsche 911 chassis for hard and tight turns. In my opinion, an Audi or a more modern Porsche like the GT3 chassis for the mountains is best.

@@michaelshafer2996 I was gonna say, you might not want to cover *everything*

👍👍

Easily would be an S2 998 and also an X Class lol

Yeah it looks pretty shit inside compared to the other builds

Performance only. Gotta be ugly, didn’t even paint the rusty roll cage haha

Yeah frfr. I was thinking nobody could finish what they started Nd atleast put a backplate on? It’s like the car was superrrr rushed. And it shows by how unstable it is on the track with 1/2 the power it should be making on pikes peak coming up

@@beezy7412 Yeah, I'm no mechanic but the way the car was leaning after each corner looked dodgy.

Function not Fashion

yea, if he manage to keep it on the track😅

Rip to ken smh crazy

Ken got a tire in the dirt on slicks. Ken literally has so much grip, that's about as close to oversteer as this AWD setup is ever going to get

awd for you

He's one of the best drivers to ever live as someone who is the biggest fan of racing who also races I do not say it lightly either 😀 I totally agree! No matter what he drives he completely is able to dominate it no matter what beast is made, although I didn't like the look of the car as in the color. But the car is amazing 100% is yet another pure beast from them 😀 would be such a pleasure to build a car for them! And to see it in action adds to how mind boggling that must be. I hope you're well whoever an wherever you are from!

@@joshjacobjonesjoshjacobjon2899 LOL. One of the best drivers? You haven't been much around, have you?

@@joshjacobjonesjoshjacobjon2899 "one of the best drivers". Dont get me wrong, he is pretty good and he surely is better than I will ever be. But there are MANY better drivers in not only the rally world, but the entire thing of motorsport as a whole. I will try to list the "best" drivers from the top of my head without proper order to put into perspective of how far he is from the best of the best. Stig Blomqvist - WRC GB/A 1980s Michelle Mouton - WRC GB/A 1980s Walter Röhrl - WRC GB/A 1980s Carlos Sainz Sr. - WRC GA 1990s Richard Burns - WRC 2000cc/GA 1990s Colin McRae - WRC 2000cc/GA 2000s Hannu Mikkola - WRC GB/A 1980s Alain Prost - F1 1980s Ayrton Senna - F1 1980s Micheal Schumacher - F1 2000s Mika Haikkinen - F1 1990s Niki Lauda - F1 1970s Lewis Hamilton - F1 2010s Jackie Stewart - F1 1960s Attilio Bettega - WRC GB 1980s Ari Vatanen - WRC BG 1980s Timo Salonen - WRC GB 1980s Juha Kankunnen - WR GB 1980s Sebastian Vettel - F1 2010s Graham Hill - Only Triple Crown Holder Fernando Alonzo - F1 2000s Max Verstappen - F1 2020s (he has the skills, but not much of the "experience") James Hunt - F1 1970s Juan-Manuel Fangio - F1 1950s Bruce McLaren - F1, LeMans 1960s Kimi Raikkonen - F1, WRC, NASCAR 2000s Dale Earnhardt Sr. - NASCAR 1990s (yes, NASCAR takes WAAAY more skill than you think) Dale Earnhardt Jr. - NASCAR 2000s Tom Kristensen - Le Mans Champion Ken Miles - 1960s DT500 Le Mans 24h Bernd Schneider - 1980s DTM Klaus Ludwig - 1980s DTM Rene Rast - 2010s DTM Jim Cark - F1 1960s Sebastian Loeb - WRC 2000s and the list goes on and on and on. All these people are people I would put WAAAY before Ken Block. Like I said, he is *Good*, but no where near the best. (before you complain, this only took me 6 minutes to name everyone from the top of my head.)

@@MattBonk991 I total agree with you, it's a good list for that short time, but i miss Sebastian Loeb in the list ;)

@@MattBonk991 imagine what Alonso would do in that car and the development of it.

That wing is small. Take a look at world time attack unlimited for a real wing

In lower speeds, it's not as effective

RS200 is mid AWD. Still a process with a new chassis, agreed.

@@krakennn9067 said rear or mid I wasn't sure

He is a flashy driver and built his career of RU-vid. Dude hasn't been at the front of rallycross for years
