Ken Block’s Wild Ford Escort Cossie V2 Gets Upgraded + RAW Footage From Testing!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- The Ford Escort Cossie V2 may be a 90s era WRC car, but just like any proper racecar does - it has to evolve and get faster. So for the 2020 Cossie World Tour, Ken Block's car gets some select upgrades everywhere from the engine bay, to lighter body panels, to a brand new lighting setup from Rigid Lights, and even a fully custom made exhaust system from his new partners at Borla. All of that amounts to a newly evolved racecar that's ready to tackle the worldwide schedule ahead of it. Ken and Hoonigan's own CCO, Brian Scotto, walk you through each and every update that the car has gotten in the off-season.

When Ken turned around to go back through the stage I expected Alex to say, "everything I just said but in reverse order."
13:52
Did he break the windshield from driving the car so hard? 13:52

This is why I love Ken Block. He keeps the essense of the old rally monsters alive, the cars I kept on dreaming about in the 90's and early 00's. So I can still keep on dreaming to get myself a cossie to have some fun, if I ever get to a point where I still could drive (and I had the money to build the car).
I hope Ken won't retire for many years. He is a true inspiration and I love the fact that my all time dream chassis is being retooled again. Keep it up!
Love to see and hear Ken discuss the revamped Cossie V2, especially testing footage in the raw.
All the best for the 2020 WRC rally season Ken Block and the entire HOONIGAN team!
the cossie YB engine just looks like a race engine such a cool engine mechanically, it just sounds like watching wrc as a kid
jasouthouse94 tbh it is, it was designed from the word go so ford could start being competitive in touring car racing back in 1985/1986.
THE THIRD WING!!!! You need the third wing that it was initially designed with before it was put into production!
4:30 hert in the back realizes he’s in the shot but still goes to get a chair lol
😂 He like shit, nope man's got sit.
One of my favorite Ford cars EVER !! What the Escort accomplished in Rally is Soo AWESOME !!
I cannot wait for you to come to Barbados once again
Ken likes the tip enough said
Carbon fiber tips, anodised tips and Brian Scott's favourite "frosted tips"
Ken watching you drive is mesmerizing!! .... Insanity with a hint of gasoline
im from Barbados and im cometing in the rally and scotto better come!!! so excited for that event
Its amazing how you have taking a ford from every era of rally from the classic mk2 to the killer b rs200 to the 90s spec escossie... all you need is a 60s lotus Cortina and you will have one from every decade would love to see you take a metro 6r4 and modernize it....
Hearing Alex Gelsomino reading pace notes always gives me a thrill.
The cars looking stronger than ever... looking forward to Mexico .. .
The car is a work of ART ❤️, and killer. I want that shirt
I'm a fan of the chill attitude of the team, including Hoonigan and what he does to bring attention to rally and rallycross in the US. Also, the sweet liveries they've been using lately
Great to see Brian again!!! Keep him involved!
as a former motor vehicle technician who worked for and owned fords in the 90s i think the exhaust tips should be round in keeping with aesthetic of the escort of the 90s, love the new livery and good luck with the upcoming season.
I agree totally mate.. i would have just had a oval one as a nod to yhe original one... think borla and ken went with the tip to make it look like the newer focus rs one
I've got a 91 fiesta rs turbo in bright orange running just shy of 260 brake. Old school fords are where it's at!!!!
Exhaust: 1. Monster “M” tip that incorporates into the fins of the rear diffuser. 2. Tip that matches the iconic headlight assembly. 3. H shape for Hoonigan. 4. Three triangles
All the best Ken! And kudos Alex - you don't get enough credit man.
"What if the Escort Cossie was in Group B?".....This would be the result!.....Absolute weapon.....
Ken has some of the best 'Serial Killer Eyes' in the game
That Borla exhaust sounds AMAZING
''we need to do some more testing'' make it a meme lol
was just going to write it lol
Was lucky enough to see the cossie in action on the hills of donegal
Yes. Brian I did catch the" so when your sideways through the corner you can still see" because if you don't plan ahead who else do you see when your sideways !!!! It is just the way things are ........ when your sideways!
Oh yes can't wait to see Ken race in my country Barbados
That's the coolest shirt so far! Again with the Moto style; looks just like an MX jersey! 👌🏼👊🏼
13:52
Did he break the windshield from driving the car so hard? 13:52
It cracked when they landed that jump watch again
I absolutely love the low tones outta my Borla exhaust.... awesome custom system on the Cossie
How I wish I was going to SOFR so I could see this.
6:50 - is that a HDMI conector 😂
It is Apple's new proprietary HDMI-C connector.
Thank you for bringing the headlights back!
The color scheme on the new livery is hard to look away from great job 🤛
Keeping the cossie alive 👊🏻👍🏻
Man that car is just bristling with trickery 👌
That co-Pilot of nerves of steel. I would be soaked in my own bodily fluids as soon as the car started moving.
We're still miss you Ken
Listening to Alex's pace notes during the test is honestly music to my ears, please upload us some raw footage of stages like that
My dream is to someday meet you in real life, Ken. You're the best driver ever!
Max B. My dream is too own an escort cosworth good luck too you dude.
@Thomas Robinson omg bro..COLIN MCRAE WAS A LEGEND:) ONE OF THE BEST!
Thomas Robinson Colin and Ken block we’re friends, they were team mates and Ken drove at the memorial for colin
Ken blocks hands for exhaust tips
Cossie V2 is a wild machine
Wow. Looks great ken. Looks rad. And I thought the one before was amazing.
*Alex*
*" 50, Left +4 over jump,"*
*Me*
*"Ahh Shit, here we go again"*
The exhaust actually looks really good with the diffuser
Awesome Video Boys , you have done a Sick Job on that Classic 👍😲👍 I really enjoyed every minute 👍😍👍😎👍
Man I hope that shirt gets approved .. the v2 is sick Ken your going to kill it in Mexico for sure
Excellent Video Guys -- !! Have Fun, Be Safe ! Finish up front !!
I'd love to SEE and HEAR this car in Neste Rally Finland!
Hey ken. Its johnathan that asked if you could have made it back to barbados. I am so happy to hear you are returning and barbados is happy as well. I am in the corbins racing team in barbados so we will definately running into each other.
The Cossie is my favorite of Ken's cars
Ken Block eres un crack. Lo que te den a manejar, lo conduces bien y simpre alegre sentado al volante. Ese ford quedo de maravilla, gran trabajo. Siempre me agrada ver tu videos. Suerte en tu proximo evento. Saludos desde argentina ✌🏼🇦🇷 ¡¡¡ NO TE RETIRES NUNCA GENIO !!!
Your new cars are totally right on
Love to see you doing a Dakar and showing them how it's done
8:46 this man staring into my soul. Makes me uncomfortable HHIC needs sum shades🤣🤣🤣
😳🤣🤣🤪
Saw this in action last year in Portland! Fun stuff.
I like how the rigid lights are mounted right ontop of the ford logo.
Quarter wheel paint is the fucking shit. Shout out to Fireman Sam for rocking that back in the day.
Ken block's livery on his cars are always fire.
I like that Forza Horizon sticker
Ken Block respect bro LOVE da ezzy cozza This car is quality and originally should of had 3 spoiler finn's but 2 is cool ❤ great video Ken - *Dave, Liverpool, England* 👍👊
Ken...
That wing looks lonely... Sexy that wing up for V3!
Love the new RIGID lights, surprised that they did not develop new rally spec light bars like their line for the trucks. Could have mounted a couple of these sick bars on the cossie, one one the roof and one full width on the front of the hood!!!
Ken I've been following you for years your my hero and my fav car of yours is the Hoonicorn Mustang
Living there best life right there...
Can't wait to see it at WRC Mexico!
I need that long sleeve ken is wearing!!!!!
zackvw31 u sponsored by monster ? It’s not really cool unless u are
Or even better, it’s time for Ken Block Rally game with all gymkhana tracks and drift challenges, cmon Ken!!!
Monster energy green Ti exhaust tip FTW ;-)
I’m a huge fan of you Ken. I have all of your cars in Forza, and I always look for you when I am park city
13:52 that's a nice new crack in the windshield on the lower right.....
I want this guy's life.
im from Barbados and im so exited
Ken, I saw your race in Mexico now. You seem to be having a problem with the car ... I think you’re very upset. It was painful for me to watch .... It's hard to imagine what it was like for you. Ken, you're great. Great are your ideas, your style, everything that you do. Your whole team. Ken, we all look at you and love everything that you do. You kindle a fire in the hearts of people, give people great joy, inspiration. We are all with you! Keep moving, Ken !!! You are the best
I saw Her in real life in Octobeer and She is fantastic
Monster Ford 2020
Great work- test Wooo 👍👍👍
Take the colours from the five coloured stripes on the livery and get 5 anodized in each of the different colour for each different race! Keep the form of the tip as it is now!
9:58 then just say the light pods are because of the sponsor dont lie the original pods are so much better
Joey, IMO the original pods were gaudy as hell. Like most of the things in the 90s.
Well a pair of titanium tips on the cossie would look amazing.
I would love to see a Hoonigan bracket exhaust :) AND/OR a HHIC bracket exhaust...very similar to what was done with the light bar!
Bad ass ride Ken 😮👍👍
I like the old light pod
Hell yea Ken is spot on we do have the best roads in nz. Best part is alot of our highways r the same just sealed
It looks so good 🔥
Can we just get an edit of just in car testing with Alex calling notes? Also do theirs for every rally. It blows peoples minds when I show them well shot rally footage with pace notes.
GOOD LUKE KEN, GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND ALL YOUR CREW🌞🌞🌻🌞🌞
Ciao Ken, complimenti per il video, un saluto dall'italia
Can we get a video with your co-driver? Maybe explain some of what his job is and maybe a simple run down of the "language" that you always hear him saying during the stages. Maybe even bring back some Dear Dad moments from Derek!
Great tour
Wires for those lights would bug the living crap out of me. looks like an autozone special xD
It's good to see something uploaded other then the damn virus.
Titanium exhaust tip with burn colorrrrr
Scotto needs to go and post a video of that event!!
Round carbon fibre would look good Ken!👍
Oh you guys *better* be doing The Safari Rally 👁️👁️ 😤 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Love the old pods so much more than the new ones, the new ones look way to flimsy and just bolted on, not like a part of the car
Just seen you dropped out of Mexico :( Good luck on the next one!
On the exhaust tip some ideas Ken! Oval styled boom tube - Twin Trumpets - Carbon Fiber Twins or Single Bellow
Dream car.
