Ford & Cosworth Unveil Ken Block’s Latest Ride

It is possible to transform any car into a World Rally contender, all it takes is time & $$$. The task is easier if you begin with a car that was designed to dominate: The Cosworth Escort. The English racing company was founded by Lotus employees who loved powerful engines. And over the years, Cosworth has helped almost every manufacturer along the way. Being that they have 176 victories in Formula 1, Hoonigan Racing decided on a mid 90’s Cosworth Focus Group-A race car. In the press release, Ken mentioned he has owned the car for years, and he is happy to be reunited.
