Built as a one-off, all-wheel-drive 1965 Ford Mustang notchback for Gymkhana SEVEN, it paired a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8 with a bespoke Sadev AWD system.
What happened at the reveal
Hoonigan announced the Hoonicorn RTR’s first public appearance at the Ford booth at SEMA on November 4, 2014. The company said the car had taken two years to build in Charlotte, North Carolina, through a collaboration involving Ken Block, Hoonigan, RTR and ASD Motorsports. Block said he was “stoked” to unveil it publicly at the show. Hoonigan’s reveal announcement
The car was created for Block’s upcoming Gymkhana SEVEN. The video launched on November 17, 2014, and put the custom Mustang on the streets of Los Angeles. Hoonigan described the car in the video announcement as an 845-hp, all-wheel-drive 1965 Mustang called the Hoonicorn. Hoonigan’s Gymkhana SEVEN announcement
What made the original Hoonicorn unusual
Rather than a conventional rear-drive classic Mustang, the Hoonicorn was a bespoke all-wheel-drive build. Its original reveal specification combined a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8, rated at 845 hp, with a Sadev AWD system. Hoonigan’s garage page lists 720 lb-ft at 6,500 rpm and a six-speed Sadev transmission for the original car. Hoonigan Racing’s garage

Original Hoonicorn and Hoonicorn V2 are different versions
Hoonicorn V2 was a later evolution, not the configuration shown at the 2014 reveal or in Gymkhana SEVEN. Hoonigan’s later coverage describes V2 as a 410-cubic-inch methanol engine with a custom twin-turbo setup and publishes its output as 1,400 hp. Hoonigan’s Hoonicorn V2 coverage

| Version | Engine and induction | Published output | Context |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original Hoonicorn | 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8; the 2014 reveal announcement does not state a turbo setup | 845 hp in Hoonigan Racing Division’s 2014 reveal announcement | One-off 1965 Mustang built for Gymkhana SEVEN; publicly revealed at SEMA on November 4, 2014 |
| Hoonicorn V2 | 410-cubic-inch methanol engine with custom twin turbos, as described by Hoonigan | 1,400 hp in Hoonigan’s 2020 coverage | Later development of the Hoonicorn; a separate configuration from the 2014 reveal car |
The horsepower figures are published build specifications for two versions, not a controlled, like-for-like performance test. V2’s higher published output should not be retroactively assigned to the original car.
