Porsche Hoonipigasus Revealed As Mid-Engined 911 With 1,400 HP

Ken Block and Porsche have unveiled their all-new one-off custom build, called the Hoonipigasus. The Hoonipigasus is a unique racecar built by BB i Autosport. It is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six engine producing 1400 BHP, sending power to both axles.

The custom-made racecar weighs in at just 1000 kilograms. BBi Autosport has also engineered a height-adjustable suspension that uses GPS coordinates based on last year’s Pikes Peak telemetry. The custom-built racecar comes with a unique pink livery, paying homage to the Porsche 9 17/20 ‘Pink Pig’. The Hoonipigasus will participate in the PPO Class, scheduled to be held on June 26, with Ken Block tasked to take the custom racecar to the summit.

This year’s event won’t be Ken Block’s first Pikes Peak participation as he used a Group N rally car with a measly 200 hp back in 2005 during his first year in racing. Fast forward to 2017, you might remember seeing him in a 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR V2 starring in the “Climbkhana: Pikes Peak” film.
