The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles will honor the impact of Ken Block with a new exhibit called “People’s Champ: The Impact of Ken Block,” showcasing a comprehensive collection of his iconic cars, including the famous 1965 Ford Mustang RTR “Hoonicorn” from Gymkhana Seven and other vehicles from Gymkhana videos. Among the exhibits will also be the Porsche 911 SVRSR “Hoonipigasus” and his 1994 Ford Escort RS Cosworth “Cossie V2” rally car, among others.
