Ken Block’s Hoonicorn takes on the world’s fastest Donk in ridiculous drag race

[ad_1]

There are a lot of people who started to complain when they heard that Ken Block’s Hoonicorn was going to be launched against the world’s fastest Donk. I mean, if the McLaren didn’t stand a chance, how could a car like the Donk manage to do better?

But let’s step back a bit and think of all the people who have argued that a Ford Mustang should never use a four-wheel drive system. Or maybe we should think of those who argue that you don’t need 1400 horsepower to have fun.

The point is, people are always going to complain about something. But the bottom line is that the Hoonicorn was designed for both fun and entertainment. And now that Ken Block and the crew give him courage against any competitor, it can only be fun for everyone watching from home.

This is because you see the Hoonicorn being used and abused as it should, not just rusting in a dark garage. And, while the Donk might seem like a silly concept, it still packs enough power to at least go fast in a straight line.

Oh, and if you’ve made it this far without actually Googling the term Donk – spoiler alert, the first result you get has nothing to do with the car at hand – and you still don’t know what that means. , let us enlighten you. A Donk is a nickname for a custom built Chevrolet Caprice or Impala, manufactured anytime between 1971 and 1976.

Most of these cars will use rather ridiculously large wheels, and it’s also common to see them fitted with supercharged V8 engines pushing over 1,000 horsepower to the rear wheels. Yeah, not the best idea to go fast on the track, but still fast enough in a straight line.

With a McLaren, a Trophy Truck and now the Donk featured on the ‘Hoonicorn Vs. the World Show’ so far, and with Rob Dahm’s Ahura set to make an appearance somewhere around mid-December, we can’t help but sit down and ask what the Hoonigan team are planning to present next.
