Has Hoonicorn Mustang Met Its Match Versus Insane AWD 4-Rotor RX-7?
Dec 14, 2020 at 12:58pm ET ++ Ken Block and Rob Dahm put on the craziest Hoonicorn Vs The World drag race we ve seen yet.
If you ve been following the Hoonigan YouTube channel, you know Ken Block has been busy racing his insane Hoonicorn Mustang against, well, pretty much everything. The theme of this recent series is Hoonicorn vs The World, where the 1,400-horsepower all-wheel-drive Mustang battles a menagerie of performance cars from stock hypercars to crazy Pikes Peaks racers.
Thus far, Block and his Mustang are undefeated, but the latest race features something arguably crazier than the Hoonicorn. Rotary fans undoubtedly know all about Rob Dahm and his quest for RX-7 glory. He has a four-rotor RX-7 with massive boost, a massive wheelbase, and yes, an all-wheel-drive setup. It s actually an homage to the Hoonicorn, as Dahm was so impressed with what he saw in Gym

The most anticipated drag race of the year has finally happened. Rob Dahm in the turbo four-rotor Mazda RX-7 has taken on the colossal task of racing against Ken Block in the turbo V8 Ford Mustang, and the result is hard to describe using simple words. 19 photos
Rob Dahm has been working on the Ahura RX-7 for several years now, and he has never really done a proper shakedown so far. As a result, most of the world was expecting to see him fail in his attempt to defeat Ken Block in the Hoonicorn vs the World series produced by the people over at Hoonigan.
UPDATE, 12/14/20 12:00 noon ET:
After a truly spectacular series of runs where we saw the Hoonicorn take the first two wins, Dahm just couldn t quite nail the launch, and the Hoonicorn ended up coming out on top. Was it still the most epic race of 2020? Absolutely. This content is imported from YouTube.
