In a recent interview for an American radio station, the rally driver was asked if him and the Blue Oval are developing a Ford Fiesta Ken Block special edition. Ken Block's answer was vague and he didn't deny or confirm the rumor. He said the possibility of a Ford Fiesta Ken Block Special Edition is being discussed at the moment, but no decision has been taken yet.
Ken Block is a big part of Ford's advertising campaign for the new Fiesta. the rally driver's stuns on YouTube and at the X Games have brought quite a lot of publicity for the new Ford Fiesta. It's only logic that Ford will explore new ways of benefiting from this relationship, so the Ford Fiesta Ken Block Special Edition could very well become a reality.
To speculate on a possible Fiesta Ken Block Special Edition, we're sue it will be very distinctive visually and it will probably have the same livery seen on Ken's rally cars. In term of performance, as it's going to be a rally inspired special edition, the Fiesta Ken Block Special Edition would have to be more than the standard car. Maybe not a power increase, but it will definitely have better handling characteristics. We could expect the Fiesta Ken Block Special Edition to have better brakes and a stiffer suspension.
