As we learned recently at the end of Ken Block’s epic Gymkhana Eight video, the Hoonigan will bring a new vehicle to the next installment of this viral video series—a 2016 Ford Focus RS. Now it has been revealed that Ken will also campaign this vehicle in the the FIA World Rallycross Championship.

“RS is a worldwide brand with a rich heritage that motorsports enthusiasts know and love,” Dave Pericak, global director, Ford Performance, said. “Our RS badge has a natural connection to racing, and we have a passionate, dedicated team on the project. We’re excited to honor the history of Rallye Sport by pushing every aspect of performance and design to the limit.”

To do so, Ford Performance engineers will bring to bear the same type of engineering tools they used to develop the likes of the latest Ford GT.
