Ken Block recently presented one of the most versatile race car in the world - his new Ford Fiesta RS WRC H.F.H.V. We bet at this point you're wondering what does H.F.H.V., right? Well... in Ken's words, it means "hybrid function hoon vehicle". Block's new "whip", as he calls it, can be used for regular rally stages, Gymkhana, rallycross and in a certain setup, it's actually road legal. The new Fiesta RS WRC
race car is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo ford Ecoboost engine built by Pipo Moteur, which develops 600 hp and 665 lb-ft of torque. The engine sends its power to all four wheels via a Sadev 6-speed sequential transmission and an all-wheel-drive system developed by the same manufacturer.
Ken's H.F.H.V. Fiesta weighs 2755 lbs and comes equipped with 355 mm Brembo WRC brake discs and 4-piston calipers, a Reiger WRC suspension system, a Cosworth engine management, a custom-built Garrett turbocharger with a 45 mm restrictor, and a dual-core intercooler. This very special Fiesta rally car sits on 17-inch Speedline wheels with Pirelli P-Zero rallycross tires, when set for this type of racing, while Ken sits on a Recaro Ultima seat.

For stage rally, the new Fiesta WRC needs a new suspension and engine management setup, 15-inch O.Z. gravel wheels with P-Zero rally tires, 300 mm brake discs and real, functional headlights. they also have to move its radiators from the trunk to the front and to cover the side air vents.
