The design of the Ford Mustang Hoonifox has Ken Block feels cruel

There are many ways to spend time in quarantine due to the impact of the Corona pandemic (Covid-19). 

One of them is like what the Hooningan Racing Division crew did, who virtually began to develop a modification concept for Ken Block's drifter ride which looked ruthless. Although it is still in the form of a design in digital format, that does not mean that it will only be a virtual display. Later, this car named Hoonifox will be realized in real form.

Taking the name Fox comes from the name Fox Body which is one of the nicknames for the two-door mustang generation which was famous from 1973 to 1993.

The frightening Gymkhana-style design

With a black bandage has become Ken Block's trademark complete with the main sponsor emblem. When viewed in more detail, there are many new concepts poured into his work this time.

After investigating, launching from Motor1, it turns out that the presence of a new touch cannot be separated from the role of Ash Thorp, who is a Hollywood graphic artist and the person who is trusted to work on the latest Batmobile modifications in the film The Dark Knight, starring Robert Pattinson.

Thorp agreed to help the Hooningan team to inspire and pour out wild ideas

Which will make Ken Block's ride more radiant and full of Hooningan's signature soul. The outline of the design follows the red threads of the Mustang Fox Body DNA. The element that the Hoonicorn gives is the embedding of a wide body kit through the bumper and fenders, as well as a large air scoop attached to the hood. The air grille is also given to the rear glass which is the hallmark of the Ford Mustang Fox Body in its era.
But the proposition is made even more mature by the presence of a rear spoiler and a widened rear bumper.

Not to mention the exhaust pipe that dangles on the side of the car and combines with the wide gold rim design with five bars.

Although generally in black color, because it is still in a digital version, Throp also tries to provide several other color options that might be a new style for Ken Block's ride.
