The 1,400hp Pikes Peak Monster: How to Build Ken Block’s Hoonipigasus Collection
Following the official release of LEGO Speed Champions Ken Block’s 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR V1 (77262), collectors can now pair the iconic drift Mustang with its wild, mid-engine Porsche successor: the Hoonipigasus
An Uncompromising 1,400-Horsepower Hill Climb Beast
Built by BBi Autosport for Ken Block's assault on the 2022 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the Hoonipigasus represents one of the most extreme custom Porsche builds ever conceived.
Beneath its widened vintage Porsche silhouette sits a mid-engine layout driven by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre flat-six running on methanol. Producing 1,400 horsepower and weighing just 2,200 pounds (998 kg), it features an advanced all-wheel-drive system and height-adjustable GPS telemetry suspension engineered specifically to tackle Pikes Peak's 156 treacherous turns.
Tackling Pikes Peak and Honoring the Pink Pig
The distinctive pink and white livery was styled by street artist Trouble Andrew (GucciGhost), paying direct homage to Porsche’s famous 1971 Porsche 917/20 "Pink Pig" Le Mans racer.
Although mechanical engine issues during practice prevented Ken Block from completing an official race run at the 100th running of Pikes Peak in 2022, the car’s legacy continued. In 2023, Ken's daughter Lia Block drove the Hoonipigasus up the mountain in a poignant tribute to her father's motorsport legacy.
Anatomy of a Hill Climb Legend
Every line of the Hoonipigasus was sculpted for aerodynamic downforce, from the giant top-mounted rear wing to the extended side skirts designed to channel air directly through the mid-engine bay.
This extreme engineering approach created a visual profile unlike any other Porsche in history, making it an instant icon among automotive enthusiasts and brick model collectors worldwide.
Completing the Ultimate Hoonigan Display Garage
The arrival of the official LEGO Speed Champions 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn V1 (set 77262) opened the door for collectors to start building a dedicated Ken Block display garage.
To complete the lineup alongside the official Hoonicorn, BRICKORA’s upcoming LEGO-compatible Hoonipigasus model recreates the wild proportions of the real hill climb racer in matching 8-stud wide Speed Champions scale. Displayed together on a shelf or desk, the two vehicles showcase the true evolution of Hoonigan motorsport history.
