For everyone who enjoyed this, you're going to love SuperfastMatt's Pikes Peak videos! Mini-documentaries following Robin Schute's team, who you'll recognize from Hoonicorn vs The World 2 It's probably in the suggestions for this video, go watch!
God I freaking hope so. I never actually watched this video before, I saw photos of the car and wondered why I had never seen a video of it in use. Tragic, Love you Ken!!!
So glad you took the time to write this comment. He was not going to rest in peace, and his family wasn’t going to ‘be well’. But you made this incredible, original, and extremely meaningful comment and now they will. You are solely responsible for his family graciously accepting the loss and moving on and Ken is shining down on you from heaven content. Thank you so much for this because they couldn’t have done it without you ❤
Just realised we're never going to see Ken do with this what he always dreamt of doing. Gutting. Prayers with all his family - blood and hoonigan. Especially his wife, kids and Scotto. Please pray for Scotto. What an icon. Gone far, far too soon. Thank you, Ken, for everything.
@@yutiros5174 For me personally, if it's going to be driven, I think it might come down to these scenarios. Scenario 1: Tribute drive Driver: Lia Reason: This is her dad's. If she wants to drive it hard, probably as hard as she comfortably can. Scenario 2: Race Driver: Travis Pastrana Reason: Fast driver + closest friend to Ken (I think) Regardless of what will happen, I want to wait for an official statement. Anything but put it to waste, they've been set back last year, so moving it to this year, I mean, they've put so much into this car.
So glad too see Lia racing in her dads car. Must also be really hard for her but also such a blessing. Just want to see her do her best .The Block Family are racing legends!!
Did they miss this year's pikes peak? I thought they announced this car a few weeks before PP like they were going to do 2022, i wasnt following it very closely
@@DarylHiers the pegasus reference goes back to the Magnolia Petroleum Company, which was later acquired by the company that became Mobil. Magnolia's headquarters building in Dallas is now a hotel and has the red pegasus in the lobby along with so many other incredible details.
The aero is the closest thing I've seen to F1 ever on a prototype car. Just insane how all the different concepts carried over, even the work on the side skirts from just a few years ago. Amazing to see Verus just go insane with the development.
As a software engineer at a company that makes integrated infotainment systems for OEM manufacturers, I want to emphasize just how much work must have gone into the electronics. To have it almost perfect at install using dozens of devices, modules, and sensors, 2 ECUs, and all that harnessing is beyond incredible. I've been on cross functional teams with some real rockstars and never have I seen anything remotely close to that even with years to develop a project. The engineers for that system deserve the highest level of praise and I would love to operate on that level. It still hurts to think about this amazing project built for a man that was equally legendary but was taken away before they could become a legend together. RIP Ken Block and I hope someone comes along and helps this pigasus fly as it should in his honor.
Honestly one of the best videos on the channel. I rarely watch a video this long from start to finish not skipping but this time i was sad that it ended.. Good luck next year, petrolheads from all around the world root for your success.
More of these type of vids. Passion and technical details from Betim so infectious. By far one of best “build bio” in forever and one of your best videos
YES! This. I was just thinking who should take it up there, as it has to go up there at some point. Lia just makes the most sense, she's the only one that makes sense TBH. Good call. I was really happy that they got to finish her car before Ken passed, as she has something they did together that she can cherish, if it was an unfinished project it would be really sad, just like this project is upsetting to think never became realised for Ken. Her taking it up pikes would actually be such an amazing tribute to her dad. It'll probably be some time before she would even be able to think about something like that though unfortunately. ;(
@@DaftFader That shakedown video of the Quattro brought a tear to my eye, Ken never got upset with Lia, as he understood the reason why it kept stalling and bogging down on Lia wasn't due to her lack of skill with a manual, as she's definitely had her share of experience with both real manuals and sequentials, and it was due instead to the car not being tuned/running properly. I also like when he teased that she'd still have to take her driver's test in it. Cheers, friend, have a great day
@@KyleKnoblauch Yeah that was such a heart warming video. The second I heard the knews I went stright to denial, thinking it must be one of them internet memes where a ton of people start posting shit that x famous person passed. But the second I found out it was actually true, although I was upset myself, my initial thoughts were for how devastated Lia must be, and that frankly was more upsetting than finding out about Kens passing, knowing she had to now live on without her father from such a young age. It really is upsetting. I had a friend who lost his dad in his teens, and I saw how that effected him. It was like his whole world disappeared from beneath his feet. Dude was so sweet and nice to everyone for as long as he could, but you could tell he was mad angry inside, he'd never show it initially (apart from mby when he drank, but even then he would try not to most of the time, and mby just cry). I just hope Lia has better coping stratagies than my friend did, as he never got passed it whilst I still knew him (we were friends for mby 5 years, but unfortunately he eventually unravelled, I tried my best to stay friends with him, as I knew how much he was hurting, untill his behaviour got a bit too much for all of us with his ever increasing drug intake, and his blackout drunk sessions - and that's comming from an ex drinker, who drank at the time themselves, I tried my best though, and put up with way more than everyone else at the time). I'm just happy Lia is left with that car they built together as one of her last memories, as my friend had nothing but a few pictures to remeber his by, and thats all he wanted, to go back to then. Anyways, I'm upsetting myself talking about this and it's not even my father. Here's to Lia driving the hoonapigasis up pikes peak when she's feeling stronger in her dads legacy to fulfil his life long, unrealised dream, in his houner. (we can only hope huh). Best wishes bud.
Of the Hoonigan videos I've watched, this is the most technical and passionate. Betim's explanation of everything that went into the build was amazing; he's not only a natural born engineer and mechanic, but also an amazing speaker. That degree of enthusiasm for the project was evident in everyone that was interviewed and got to work on this project. I also loved the pegasus reference, which goes back to the Magnolia Petroleum Company, which was later acquired by the company that became Mobil. Their headquarters building in Dallas is now a hotel and has the red pegasus in the lobby along with so many other incredible details.
he is part of VAG now, they are probably interestest in him doing the race to the cloud, may be he will drive twice once old school with a Porsche on methanol and the other time with electric sport quattro, don't know but that would be the first time for Pikes too ;)
As much as it hurts that this is how it ends this year, EVERYBODY involved needs to give themselves so much credit for accomplishing what you all did. Considering the time frame, shipping/supply issues, amount of people involved, and the amazing end product, y'all have created a work of art!! 1 more year but... Come next year y'all will be MORE then ready to giver hell!! Extremely impressive..
IYAAYAS: I realize that this was posted 6 months prior to Ken Block's untimely passing. I love everything you said here, and you come across as a fairly intelligent individual! However, with just one word out of place the entire experience was ruined for me. Knowing we Americans do not speak the Queens (proper) English, as we speak American English here in America. Still, there quite simply is absolutely no place in what you said here for the word "then"! It just does not belong! The word is. And should be "than"! "Come next year y'all will be MORE than ready to giver hell!!" Yes, I know I am being anal about this. But it should be this. "Come next year y'all will be MORE than ready to giver hell!!"
This car is on a whole another level! Thanks to Hoonigan for producing that "documentary". I've followed you ever since 2010 and I must say you always killed it with magnificent designs no one has ever done! Keep it up.👍👍👍👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙
@@WarrenSheehan Welcome to building a racecar? There's no guide to what these guys are doing, any team would have issues to iron out when they literally used Pikes Peak as a shakedown event. The car showed up not finished.
Thank you to Ken's family for sharing him with the world, we all share your loss.. Prayers to his family and friends.. Stay strong Block's, our hearts are with you..
I felt like I was apart of the journey watching the video. I’m looking forward to what the future hold with this build in the future. Job well done to the team….
Betim speaks with such passion. This has been a dream for him to make, you can tell by how detailed and precise his explanation of the parts is. Beautiful machine. Can’t wait to see it in more videos.
This is coming from a current engineering student, you guys are inspiring the next generation of enthusiasts to make this hobby their career. This is absolutely incredible work and makes me wish I get to work on a project like this someday, looking forward to seeing this car rip pikes peak
This has been one of the best videos I have seen for the entire team. I love the rubber and smoke shows…. But this was the heart and soul of the team. This is a motivational video teaching what a team effort is, from nothing but an idea to rubber touching asphalt. Everyone having a job, and doing their job to the best. 100% sucks the result this year, but this is a hope video showing the normal person that it isn’t always a cinderella story. Thank you show us the fans you are all human !!!!
This is the true embodiment of every car guy's dream. To take a car you love, with real racing history, and turn it up to 11 with a dream race car from the ground up. Hats off to everyone involved.
Heard the terms "unsprung mass" and "camber gain" spoken with the fluency of someone who's probably read Race Car Vehicle Dynamics more then once. I'm in love. Just hearing that smooth voice talk about 4 way compression and rebound adjustment
That's what I wasn't understanding. Why is there a "donor" car when they didn't actually need any piece of the original? Is that just do you have a VIN for the chassis?
I think it'd make ken proud to see it set the next record up the mountain and personally I believe it should be driven by a friend of Kens. Travis P I think we all know he has the skill to do it and I think it would be what ken would want but we will just have to wait and see. may the legend rest in peace and may God be with his family he may be gone but his legacy will never be forgotten.
One of the best Hoonigan videos of all time. I appreciate the way Betim walked us through the whole car and used language that was easy to grasp. Cant wait to see what this car can do with a year of development!!!!!
Absolute mind-blowing technology behind this build! The Best of the Best! And yes with electronic type cars coming into their era, it's race to finish off on top of the gas engine builds! Awesome content thank you very much! Keep On Rocking!
There’s such passion from Betim when he discusses the tech behind the pig, especially the aero. You can tell he’s dedicated his life to this craft, and I’m awestruck. Better luck for 2023.
This is probably my favorite video that has ever been posted on this channel. An unfortunate and sad ending, but the technical aspect was truly fantastic.
We need a whole series from BBI on the work that went into building the car and documenting the different milestones for the build because this thing is out of this world insane!
Totally agree. I would watch a multi-episode documentary just about the build. From concept to design to engineering to build to testing. This is a serious machine with some cutting edge race tech.
The amount of creativity and ergonomics that has been implemented into this feat of genius is astounding. I know my words may not hold precedence however I am blown away by this magnificent piece of functional art and agility. I hope to see this take a win. Good luck Ken and team prayers.
I could listen to Betim talk like that for hours! Getting deep into the details is always great, but it's the passion behind it that lifts this to the next level. Can't wait to hear about all the work being done on the Pig right now.
You built the ULTIMATE 959... given that it was supposed to be the street version of the Homologation specials - The Rally Monsters, 288 GTO was built for the same class if not mistaken. I LOVE 959's and THIS MONSTER is so awesome!
So glad you explained the car and what happened- we were all super excited, and then started hearing the rumors. Can’t wait to see more dev on the car and hopefully another run at the peak!
I've seen thousands of car videos...and where betim explains and lives the air flow in The Aero...it's unique. This guy needs to make cars for the next 60 years. Thanks for that beautiful car-junkie portion. You made my week :)
I needed 4 Hours to watch this video, because i stopped it so many times to watch all the details of this dream car. Thank you very much for this video.
Honestly I loved watching this video, very technical and we got to understand the development of the Hoonipig, good luck to every working hard and spending time on the project and I believe next you guys will definitely be more prepared for Pikes Peak, and Good Luck
thats really sucks it broke but you made the right call to not destroy it fully. cant wait to see it out next. hopefully the weather will be nicer next year too.
This is why UA-cam is such good platform. Real technical information from the designers and builders! You can feel the passion that went into building it.
My goodness this is an engineers/gear head's wet dream. What do we think this thing cost? 600k? A mill? 2mill? What an incredible machine! The workmanship, creativity, and sheer luck that went into making this work on time is mind-boggling. And then to have it break right at the end is heartbreaking. I can't wait to see what happens in '23
Listening to Betim talk about his unexpected meteoric rise into Porsche "wow that's cool, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good right?" Listening to Betim excitedly talk about every little design and go fast detail of the Hoonipigasus "yeah, Porsche knew exactly what they were doing"
The engine damage was such a heart breaker! I can't wait to see next years run, though. 12 more months of development will make this even more of a monster!
The speed at which he down loaded information that anyone with a slightest bit of interest in performance machines was the bit that impressed me the most. Full credit to the team that put this together, thanks for sharing.
Ken Block will forever be remembered as one of the best drivers. thank you for everything i will miss watching you on the tube... cant help but feel a bit of irony when i saw this 2:21. Ken passed before he could drive this beast at pikes peak...
Every time I see Ken Block's cars on UA-cam, I always think it's just a group of guys building these cool cars in some garage. Then, I watch these docus and you see the amount of work and money that are actually put into these.
That dude that was talking about the aerodynamics definitely just finished watching Formula 1, that car never had a porpoiseing problem but he learnt from Formula 1 and added it to the car. Top G
Honestly, I'm glad they didn't get to run. The conditions wouldn't have allowed for a good run, and I really don't think Ken was comfortable with the car yet. It needs a lot more testing than they were able to do.
@@TheGoodChap That guy is out of his mind. He was driving it by memory. No possible way he could go that fist driving by what he could see. I'm just glad the guy that yard sale'd the Honda near the finish didn't go off the other side of the road where he was.
I keep finding myself still looking forward to more videos of Ken, but know it won't happen unless people throw their personal videos on UA-cam of him...man it hurts losing legends no matter what they do, sports, movies, music etc. Ken we will never forget you, thanks for all you did..RIP
Would love to see a Hoonipig World Tour; Nurburgring, Spa, Silverstone, a handful of GP tracks. Just raw onboard laps, chasing track records, all the multi-angle shots that we’ve come to love from the Gymkhana series. Would be so so cool
Unfortunately you are so correct in most of your statement, stay tuned, my gut feeling says Lia Block will complete Kens legacy and put the Hoonipigasus in the history book of legendary Pikes Peak winning drivers…. R.I.P.= Race In Peace…..Ken…. Thanks for all the incredible Hoonigan shenanigans….we love you !
Holy shit I can't believe that rotten rust bucket of a shell, became part of the hoonipig, thats some incredible work. To think they completed such a project on such a short time schedule is mindblowing. This car legit has F1 tech in it too which is so cool. With it's aero design, even without being told, I can tell it resembles an F1 car from underneath, absolutely insane. This is easily the most badass and ridiculously impressive car/ project Hoonigan has ever done.
I'm 5 years older than Ken block but we basically have the same influences when it comes to racing and cars. This project is amazing and I'm really happy that you were able to film the process in such detail.
Gotta admire all the hard work these guys put in just for this Rich Prick to come in, destroy it on warmup and take full credit for the project. This isn’t “Ken Blocks Hoonipegasis” it’s the crews hard work and dedication. 48:12 you can hear the pain in his voice. the guy has put so much time and effort into a project he’ll have to continue for someone else’s gain. and thanks for not filling this video with random movie clips, i actually managed to sit thru this one without skipping every minute or two. Hoonigan
Amazing video, amazing car, amazing team. Best of luck for next year. Meanwhile… this kind of in-depth build bio… I could watch these all day. Love the technical depth, process detail, and passion. Please do more like this!
Burnouts and sweet jumps are great, but I love these nerd-out tech videos. keep 'em coming.

This has been one of the best videos I have seen for the entire team. I love the rubber and smoke shows…. But this was the heart and soul of the team. This is a motivational video teaching what a team effort is, from nothing but an idea to rubber touching asphalt. Everyone having a job, and doing their job to the best. 100% sucks the result this year, but this is a hope video showing the normal person that it isn’t always a cinderella story. Thank you show us the fans you are all human !!!!
This is the true embodiment of every car guy's dream. To take a car you love, with real racing history, and turn it up to 11 with a dream race car from the ground up. Hats off to everyone involved.
Heard the terms "unsprung mass" and "camber gain" spoken with the fluency of someone who's probably read Race Car Vehicle Dynamics more then once. I'm in love. Just hearing that smooth voice talk about 4 way compression and rebound adjustment
I’m drooling so much through this whole video that I need a damn bib now...
Worth it! F’n-A, thanks guys!
Thats what the original body of the car looked like? 90% rusted through and just barely clinging to a shell, damn. Incredible work, holy shit.
Well, they only use the metal roof skin from that car
That's what I wasn't understanding. Why is there a "donor" car when they didn't actually need any piece of the original? Is that just do you have a VIN for the chassis?
@@JeremyCee Good question I'd like to know
@@JeremyCee I assumed it was mainly to have measurements for chassis mapping and carbon molds.
@@cunnyrunts How could anyone rely on measurements from that thing? It looked like you could bend the the bottom of the door guard by hand
Man.....What a build, what a team, and what a tragic loss. Absolute legend RIP.
I have basically no close friends anymore so it is nice to see yall working together to make this. RIP Ken.
Well I see I’m not the only one going back and watching any hoonigan video with or about ken block! Rest in peace legend
I think it'd make ken proud to see it set the next record up the mountain and personally I believe it should be driven by a friend of Kens. Travis P I think we all know he has the skill to do it and I think it would be what ken would want but we will just have to wait and see. may the legend rest in peace and may God be with his family he may be gone but his legacy will never be forgotten.
crazy to think we won’t be able to see him drive this car again
One of the best Hoonigan videos of all time. I appreciate the way Betim walked us through the whole car and used language that was easy to grasp. Cant wait to see what this car can do with a year of development!!!!!
Having managed multi-million dollar projects for most of my life, the time line to build this from scratch blows my mind! Incredible!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Absolute mind-blowing technology behind this build! The Best of the Best! And yes with electronic type cars coming into their era, it's race to finish off on top of the gas engine builds! Awesome content thank you very much! Keep On Rocking!
This is, without a doubt, a brilliant technical rundown of an insane, purpose built... pig! Loved every second of it!
Swam with Manatee with Ken and his family less than 2 months ago. Best day of my life. Thank you for everything.
There’s such passion from Betim when he discusses the tech behind the pig, especially the aero. You can tell he’s dedicated his life to this craft, and I’m awestruck. Better luck for 2023.
This is probably my favorite video that has ever been posted on this channel. An unfortunate and sad ending, but the technical aspect was truly fantastic.
Amazing how much actual science goes into these builds, bro. 🤦🏾♂️😳
Betim said words I didn't even know existed... impressive beyond words
Everything you guys touch turns to gold. Rip Ken.
I love the engineering and science behind cars. I think they're the most technological advancements we have. They incorporate every aspect of science!
Please let his daughter race this car up pikes peak!!! It's only right
It became a reality!!
Well she did it. And boy was it a rollercoaster of emotions
We need a whole series from BBI on the work that went into building the car and documenting the different milestones for the build because this thing is out of this world insane!
Totally agree. I would watch a multi-episode documentary just about the build. From concept to design to engineering to build to testing.
This is a serious machine with some cutting edge race tech.
Cant wait for Ken and his daughter in the Hoonicorn to go head to head in street drift convoy....oh man, I already see it in my head...what a day💪💪💪💥
I've never seen anyone as excited to explain the way aero works on a car as this guy. Down on his knees to explain the details. Love that enthusiasm.
The amount of creativity and ergonomics that has been implemented into this feat of genius is astounding. I know my words may not hold precedence however I am blown away by this magnificent piece of functional art and agility. I hope to see this take a win. Good luck Ken and team prayers.
Best Hoonigan content in a long time
I could listen to Betim talk like that for hours! Getting deep into the details is always great, but it's the passion behind it that lifts this to the next level. Can't wait to hear about all the work being done on the Pig right now.
You built the ULTIMATE 959... given that it was supposed to be the street version of the Homologation specials - The Rally Monsters, 288 GTO was built for the same class if not mistaken. I LOVE 959's and THIS MONSTER is so awesome!
So glad you explained the car and what happened- we were all super excited, and then started hearing the rumors. Can’t wait to see more dev on the car and hopefully another run at the peak!
There are no words to describe how awesome this is.
Barge Boards, Difusers, Porpoising? Wow, this car has a lot more aero work than I could ever imagine. This is amazing!!!
I've seen thousands of car videos...and where betim explains and lives the air flow in The Aero...it's unique. This guy needs to make cars for the next 60 years. Thanks for that beautiful car-junkie portion. You made my week :)
Make sure to block Rob Dahm from watching this video! The man will count the pixels to measure the suspension geometry! 🤣
Lmao he will engineer a way to replicate too
I'm sure he's already made phone calls to their suppliers pretending to be a team member 😂
Man... what an ending to the video. Next year though... next year
I needed 4 Hours to watch this video, because i stopped it so many times to watch all the details of this dream car. Thank you very much for this video.
Heart warming to watch this now - knowing Lia Block ran for her dad - AMAZING
Honestly I loved watching this video, very technical and we got to understand the development of the Hoonipig, good luck to every working hard and spending time on the project and I believe next you guys will definitely be more prepared for Pikes Peak, and Good Luck
I’m so glad I got to enjoy this awesome documentary style video within the first hours of release. Such a cool project, can’t wait till next year!
thats really sucks it broke but you made the right call to not destroy it fully. cant wait to see it out next. hopefully the weather will be nicer next year too.
This is why UA-cam is such good platform. Real technical information from the designers and builders! You can feel the passion that went into building it.
My goodness this is an engineers/gear head's wet dream. What do we think this thing cost? 600k? A mill? 2mill? What an incredible machine! The workmanship, creativity, and sheer luck that went into making this work on time is mind-boggling. And then to have it break right at the end is heartbreaking. I can't wait to see what happens in '23
what a beautiful car, this and the hoonicorn, as i said before i have hoonicorn as my phone wallpaper. great content hoonigan
Listening to Betim talk about his unexpected meteoric rise into Porsche "wow that's cool, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good right?"
Listening to Betim excitedly talk about every little design and go fast detail of the Hoonipigasus "yeah, Porsche knew exactly what they were doing"
Could listen to Betim talk for hours on end. His enthusiasm when explaining the car is fantastic.
Everything you need to know to get UP TO SPEED
On the hooonigan pigaaaaaaaaaasuuuuuuusss
The engine damage was such a heart breaker! I can't wait to see next years run, though. 12 more months of development will make this even more of a monster!
The speed at which he down loaded information that anyone with a slightest bit of interest in performance machines was the bit that impressed me the most. Full credit to the team that put this together, thanks for sharing.
Ken Block will forever be remembered as one of the best drivers. thank you for everything i will miss watching you on the tube... cant help but feel a bit of irony when i saw this 2:21. Ken passed before he could drive this beast at pikes peak...
This is the content I like!
It's amazing the things y'all ar doing for car culture. Everything y'all do pushes it even if it's a micrometer or a few yards with this build
Every time I see Ken Block's cars on UA-cam, I always think it's just a group of guys building these cool cars in some garage. Then, I watch these docus and you see the amount of work and money that are actually put into these.
That dude that was talking about the aerodynamics definitely just finished watching Formula 1, that car never had a porpoiseing problem but he learnt from Formula 1 and added it to the car. Top G
Guess there wont be a next time
Such a huge shame it ended with a broken valve and engine. Suffering with you guys
No way 😢
Honestly, I'm glad they didn't get to run. The conditions wouldn't have allowed for a good run, and I really don't think Ken was comfortable with the car yet. It needs a lot more testing than they were able to do.
@@MX304 it was probably for the best! Next year🤘
@@MX304 yeah the winning run with all that fog was crazy
@@TheGoodChap That guy is out of his mind. He was driving it by memory. No possible way he could go that fist driving by what he could see. I'm just glad the guy that yard sale'd the Honda near the finish didn't go off the other side of the road where he was.
This is so special. The story is beautiful. It’s a real example of what every car guy feels, but doesn’t know how to articulate.
I keep finding myself still looking forward to more videos of Ken, but know it won't happen unless people throw their personal videos on UA-cam of him...man it hurts losing legends no matter what they do, sports, movies, music etc. Ken we will never forget you, thanks for all you did..RIP
Would love to see a Hoonipig World Tour; Nurburgring, Spa, Silverstone, a handful of GP tracks. Just raw onboard laps, chasing track records, all the multi-angle shots that we’ve come to love from the Gymkhana series. Would be so so cool
The 'ring record is out of reach.
@@MX304 919 Evo holds the record, right? I’m not terribly well versed.
And it very well may be out of reach, but chasing it would be super cool
@@nyalsewell Yeah the 919 holds the record. I think they hold it at Spa as well.
This is one of the best racecars you’ve built imo
1000% - the best*
You can't build something strong without some failures, incredible video and can't wait to see the success!
being a 911 fan this is the greatest evolution of a 911 racecar , stunning work, its like the martini classic 911 brought fully into 2022/2023
It was his dream to drive this monster up pikes peaks and it’s unfortunate we won’t see that day ever come
RIP Ken Block ❤ 43 Forever
His jumper at beginning writen on back, "Just Don't Die" 😮😭
I was wondering about that. So sad. 😥😭
Unfortunately you are so correct in most of your statement, stay tuned, my gut feeling says Lia Block will complete Kens legacy and put the Hoonipigasus in the history book of legendary Pikes Peak winning drivers….
R.I.P.= Race In Peace…..Ken….
Thanks for all the incredible Hoonigan shenanigans….we love you !
Holy shit I can't believe that rotten rust bucket of a shell, became part of the hoonipig, thats some incredible work. To think they completed such a project on such a short time schedule is mindblowing. This car legit has F1 tech in it too which is so cool. With it's aero design, even without being told, I can tell it resembles an F1 car from underneath, absolutely insane. This is easily the most badass and ridiculously impressive car/ project Hoonigan has ever done.
I'm 5 years older than Ken block but we basically have the same influences when it comes to racing and cars. This project is amazing and I'm really happy that you were able to film the process in such detail.
R.I.P. Ken you have brought great stunts crazy builds and countless smiles you will be greatly missed but never forgotten
Shout out to ghost for making such a beautiful wrap for the car it fits perfectly
Gotta admire all the hard work these guys put in just for this Rich Prick to come in, destroy it on warmup and take full credit for the project. This isn’t “Ken Blocks Hoonipegasis” it’s the crews hard work and dedication. 48:12 you can hear the pain in his voice. the guy has put so much time and effort into a project he’ll have to continue for someone else’s gain. and thanks for not filling this video with random movie clips, i actually managed to sit thru this one without skipping every minute or two. Hoonigan
Amazing video, amazing car, amazing team. Best of luck for next year. Meanwhile… this kind of in-depth build bio… I could watch these all day. Love the technical depth, process detail, and passion. Please do more like this!
The engineering was insane! Mooooooar!!!
