Ken Block and Hoonigan Racing Division have unveiled this a one-of-a-kind, mid-engine, 1400hp, Porsche SVRSR, dubbed the ‘Hoonipigasus’ built by Pikes Peak winning Porsche experts, BBi Autosport. Its sole purpose is to go fastest overall at the legendary Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

Hoonigan is known for some of the most unique liveries in motorsports, and Hoonipigasus doesn’t disappoint, thanks to a collaboration between Block and former Olympic snowboarder, musician and acclaimed street artist Trouble (Trevor) Andrew, a.k.a. Guccighost. The livery pays homage to one of the most iconic racing Porsches in history, the Porsche 917/20 ‘Pink Pig’ that raced only once in that paint scheme but has been a crowd favourite ever since.

This won’t be Block’s first pass up Pikes Peak. He raced here in a lower-class Group N rally car back in 2005, in his first year of racing. Since then, Ken piloted his 1,400hp, twin-turbo, 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn in the 2017 Climbkhana film, which for him was a homage to how the race used to be raced, sideways! Although that film was hugely successful, it was not what he really wanted to do: race up the mountain in the top class. So, this will be his first real go at that in this legendary hill climb race.

The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, also known as The Race to the Clouds, is an invitation-only hill climb to the summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado. This year’s event, scheduled for Sunday, June 26, will mark the 100th running of the PPIHC, which features a 12.42-mile course with 156 turns and an elevation gain of 4,725 feet, rising to the finish line at 14,115 feet above sea level.
