The 1,400-hp AWD Mustang in this headline is the Hoonicorn, a custom 1965 Ford Mustang built for Ken Block and Hoonigan—not a production Mustang model. MotorTrend reports that the Hoonicorn v2 has twin turbos, a V-8, all-wheel drive, a six-speed sequential transmission, and weighs 2,998 pounds. Its matchups with supercars were specific video races, not standardized tests proving it beats every supercar.
What is the Hoonicorn?
The Hoonicorn is a custom Mustang associated with Ken Block and Hoonigan. Hoonigan featured it in Hoonicorn vs. the World, a video series staging drag races against high-performance cars. MotorTrend reports the v2’s specifications; they should be treated as reported figures, not as independent test results.

| Power | 1,400 hp |
| Weight | 2,998 pounds |
| Engine and induction | V-8, twin turbochargers |

How did it do against supercars?
The headline is a playful summary, not a universal verdict. Race outcomes depend on the opponent and the distance, and the sources reviewed do not provide a single standardized test comparing the Hoonicorn with all supercars.

McLaren Senna
AutoWeek covered a Hoonicorn-versus-McLaren Senna matchup in 2020. Its report gives the Hoonicorn 1,400 hp and the Senna 814 hp. Those power figures help explain the matchup, but they do not by themselves establish a general ranking or a standardized performance result.
Tesla Model S Plaid
TeslaNorth’s account of a Hoonigan Model S Plaid video describes races at two distances. It reports that the Plaid pulled ahead at the start of the 1,000-foot races, then fell behind after several seconds; in the shortened 500-foot race, it kept pace. The difference illustrates why race distance matters when describing which car “wins.” TeslaNorth’s account does not provide comparable measured times.

| Tesla Model S Plaid, 500 feet | TeslaNorth reports the Plaid kept pace in the shorter race. | This is a specific video-race account, not a universal ranking. |
Is this the Mustang Mach-E 1400?
No. The Hoonicorn is a gasoline-powered custom 1965 Mustang. Ford’s Mustang Mach-E 1400 is a separate electric prototype. Thomasnet reports that the Mach-E 1400 has seven electric motors, a 56.8-kWh battery, and 1,400 horsepower; TechCrunch says Ford did not intend to sell that example and described it as a technology demonstrator. Its specifications should not be attributed to the Hoonicorn.

Does this 1,400-hp AWD Mustang really beat supercars?
It competed against high-performance cars in particular Hoonigan video races, but the reports reviewed do not establish that it always beats supercars. The opponent and race distance matter, and the available accounts are not a standardized comparative test.
