Fear not, Internet. Ken Block hasn't conceded victory to the overseers of environmental protection and got himself a super-efficient electric racer. No, what he has got is a transforming Fiesta.
Let us explain. Block is engaged in a few motorsport disciplines but requires just one car to cover all bases. Therefore, he needs his car's underbits to be as interchangeable as Lego. And that's what he's got.
Meet the Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle, a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-pot Ford Fiesta RS WRC car built to be as flexible as Captain Slidey's most slideyest slide. Its engine can produce as much as 600bhp and 665lb ft of torque, while the suspension, wheels and ECU can all be adjusted to meet Mr Block's varying requirements.
Now let him explain. Via the medium of moving pictures.

wow, so you can change the wheels, gear ratio, engine mapping and suspension like in any other car, put real headlights on and move the radiator and they call it a new car (with a stupid name by the way), that's just pathetic. Also, gymkhana isn't a racing discipline, it's just a temporarily fad and rallycross is just bumpercars with rally cars. And to make matters worse, Ken Block sucks at the only thing that's a real motorsport, classic rally! what a chump...

i agree to the fact that ken block sucks in classic rally but he is very talented and he will be better in rally in the fututre. Gymkhana is a very dificult think that needs great skill. I am a big fan of Ken Block

I would say the car is impressive, but calling a completely new car is a bit exaggerated.
