Ken Block cars and net worth

Ken Block must’ve thought that his already insane-spec Hoonicorn needs a further boost before rebuilding the V1 car. Now it has a modified 410 cubic inch Roush Yates Ford V8 engine with a twin-turbo setup from Garett. Now it generates 1400 horsepower and 1250 foot-pounds of torque. That’s how you reimagine an icon to make it more ‘icon’ic or should we say uh, ‘Hoonicorn’ic?
