  • FIRST START FOR THE HOONIPIGASUS! Ken Block teamed up with Mobil 1 to create the wildest, carbon fiber-iest, all wheel driving-iest, and pink-est Porsche 911 to race up Pikes Peak for this year’s International Hill Climb competition, but a creature as mythical as the Hoonipigasus you can’t just plug and play. The fine folks from @BBIAutosport need to tune, wrench, and calibrate all the beep boops while Ken logs some seat time. It’s not a Porsche GT3 RS, it's not a Porsche 911 Turbo, it's a methanol smashing AWD MID ENGINE TWIN TURBO 4 LITER PORSCHE FLYING PIG HORSE. This thing was built from the ground up and has a lot of catching up to do to be competitive before Pikes Peak in two weeks, let’s get to work. If you wanna hear a 1400hp Porsche come to life, hit play!
    Thanks to our sponsors for making the Hoonipigasus a reality!

      to be fair, it's not really a new car for ken, he uses the same exact 4 wheel drive train in all his cars, so there is very little that changes in regards to feel, unless you get down to tyre differences and engine power depending on tuning. imagine you have an RC car and all you do is change the shell on the top so it looks different.. that's ken's life. if that car had remained as lets say an original rear wheel drive porsche then i would agree with you as that would not be what he drives all the time and he would have to "learn a new car".

      @dead_redux Před rokem +4

      @@ribbitism You have no idea what you're talking about and its hilarious. For starters the Porsche is mid engine and the Hoonicorn was obviously front engine. Also vastly different wheelbases. I cant find a lot of specs on the Porsche because its so new, but they are VERY different cars. Just because they are both all wheel drive, doesn't mean they are the same car. Indycars use the same everything and teams win based off just setup of the car alone. Also they don't have this car setup yet let alone dialed in and ken feeling comfortable in it.

    Ayrton Senna once said, "Fear teaches you respect, fear keeps you sharp." He always said if you race cars and have no fear of said car, you should not be racing, you are a danger to yourself and others. When something is feared, it is respected, he also said too much fear is as bad as no fear. I liked Ken Blocks answer to that question

      Lia got to give the Hoonipigasus the full Hoonigan send on a cold engine and it was glorious, ripping through the gears like a motorcycle. You can tell they're running a compound turbo by the way the power peaks on the top end. I was so relieved to see Lia go full throttle at the Summit of Pikes Peak after watching it lug around the base like a naturally aspirated engine

      He's one of the best drivers to ever live as someone who is the biggest fan of racing who also races I do not say it lightly either 😀 I totally agree! No matter what he drives he completely is able to dominate it no matter what beast is made, although I didn't like the look of the car as in the color. But the car is amazing 100% is yet another pure beast from them 😀 would be such a pleasure to build a car for them! And to see it in action adds to how mind boggling that must be. I hope you're well whoever an wherever you are from!

      @@AmbientMike all Porsches have a snap. The Cayman is a "mid engine" and their Cayman Cup racecars are even more snappy than their GT3 ones. Having a heavy weight behind your CG and rotation point makes a car snappy.
      It happens because centrifugal forces are pulling your car's ass sideways. The only way you control those forces is through cornering speed.

The competitive level at pikes peak is really high, I feel that although ken block is an amazing driver, he can’t compete with other drivers who have been testing there car for much longer and also have previous experience RACING at pikes peak.
