Pro rally driver Ken Block is road-testing his insane Hoonipigasus. The 1,400 hp AWD Porsche SVRSR racecar is a widebody pink monster built for the 100th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado on June 26. The brutal 12.42-mile course has 156 turns and an elevation gain of 4,725 feet, with the finish line at 14,115 feet.
Built by BBi Autosport in conjunction with Hoonigan and Hoonigan Racing Division, the mid-engine Hoonipigasus features a livery created by street artist Trevor “Trouble” Andrew (AKA Guccighost) paying homage to the famous 1971 Porsche 917/20 “Pink Pig.” Block, Hoonigan also had Guccighost jazz up Block’s current rally car, a snazzy Hyundai i20 WRC.
