The Rally-man and part-time schoenenverkoper, in collaboration with Ford’s M-sport once again nice stuff created, perfect for the better kamikaze-courier. Yes, you know who you are.

Ken Block’s schoenenbusiness is slightly better than that of Al Bundy and thus he can afford to super-fast rides, mostly by Ford. With the cars he makes, then again snazzy videos that are soon to be viral to go on the internet and that provides him with extra marketing goodies. The videos are so popular that there are brilliant parodies to be made.

Kenny from the Block has now been working with Ford on a new project undertaken. A Ford Transit is by the sporadic WRC-driver converted into a swekkermobiel. With the help of the hoonigan himself has M-Sport, a team that Fiesta’s runs in the WRC, this Ken Block Edition Ford Transit. Perhaps not the most obvious model for the drift-king, but drifting and Transit go together better than you might think.

The Transit is very black and has more grille than a BBQ restaurant. Subtle, as in barely visible, gray detail of street artist Felipe Pantone adorn the sides of the bus. OZ wheels make for a low unsprung weight, so that the Transit a real bochtentijger. In the interior, there is leather, which is again a kek motif of the hand of Pantone. What is happening under the hood home is unfortunately not known.

What do we think of this? A nice successor for your SportVan, or do you prefer the brilliant old Transit SuperVan with Cossie power?
