F-150 Archives - Brochureshub

Ken Block was an American professional rally driver, formerly known as the Monster World Rally Team, who died in 2023 at the age of 55. One of the cars he drove in episodes of Gymkhana Ten and Climbkhana Two, the 1977 Ford F-150 Custom Pickup “HOONITRUCK”, is up for auction.

This Hoonitruck project is by Ken Block and the Hoonigan team, in collaboration with Detroit Speed, and it took two years to build. It is equipped with a 3D-printed intake manifold designed by Ford Performance, popping out through the hood and flanked by two turbochargers, a unique chassis, extended fenders, and a new spoiler. It is mounted on custom wheels made by Fifteen52 with real beadlocks, wrapped in Toyo tires.

Block first used this car in Gymkhana, five years ago, while driving on Route 66 and later drifted driving up the Tianmen Mountain in China.

Under the hood is a twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine with 914 hp (681 kW), and power is sent through a sequential transmission and a custom all-wheel drive system.

The auction will take place between January 18 and 26, 2025.

The Venom 800 is a new car from the American hypercar manufacturer and high-performance vehicle creator, Hennessey, based on the Ford F-150 but with more power.

The car is powered by a 5.0-L V8 engine with 800 hp (588 kW) and 757 lb-ft (1,026 Nm) of torque, a big increase in power over the standard F-150 with 400 hp (294 kW) and 410 lb-ft (560 Nm) of torque. The increase was achieved thanks to the installation of a compressor, improvement of the air-to-water intercooler, a high-performance fuel injection system and a new high-flow intake system. The result is an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, which is significantly better than the Ram 1500 TRX and the F-150 Raptor R.

Hennessey equipped the Venom 800 with branded front and rear bumpers to provide maximum protection in the toughest off-road conditions, electronic fold-out steps, LED off-road lights on the front bumper, BDX suspension with Fox shock absorbers that raise the vehicle by an additional 152 mm, with a carbon fiber front grille, massive 6 piston Brembo performance brakes for optimum performance, and 20-inch rims with 35-inch off-road tires for exceptional performance and reliability.

The interior is also slightly changed, with new items including quilted headrests, all-weather floor mats, American flag inserts and serial number plates.

Only 250 cars will be produced, and the price has not been announced.
