Stage Rally, Rallycross and Gymkhana racecar all in one

One of the best drivers on the face of the planet, Ken Block, unveils his brand new revolutionary racecar, the “Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle” (or H.F.H.V.). As he competes in three distinct disciplines of racing — Stage Rally, Rallycross and Gymkhana — the usual protocol is to have one (or more) dedicated vehicle for each sport. But Block and his Ford team have devised a unique vehicle that can compete in all 3 sports. The H.F.H.V. is based on the Ford Fiesta RS WRC platform, with a more powerful 2.0L turbo engine that generates 600 hp and 665 ft-lb of torque. Via a complicated series of hardware, transmission, suspension and engine-mapping alterations the Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle can switch to compete in all 3 sports. Peep the video below — which allegedly took 65 straight hours to film — showing the tire-shredder in action…
