Ken Block Customises His 2011 F-150 SVT Raptor

We wonder how it feels to be... Ken Block. When you’re not giving the world new Gymkhana videos, you find yourself behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta World Rally Championship challenger. Or in the air with the aforementioned vehicle, but this is another story. But this is all work - what about the play?

Well, you can imagine that an incredible amount of people will send you presents. And one of these people is none other than... Ford, who has decided to gift you with a 2011 F-150 SVT Raptor. So, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you take delivery of the off-road beast? naturally, to have it tricked out.

We shall now quit being John Malkovich Ken Block, so we’ll walk out of his mind in order to give the vehicle a look-around. First of all the already extreme truck is now wearing matte black, with the same finish being used for the rims.

We haven’t received any info about technical mods, so we’ll try entering Ken’s head again to see if the Raptor has received any tech goodies. [...] Nope, we can’t do it any more.

We’ll just have to remind you that the stock incarnation of the vehicle is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine. The unit, which relies on natural aspiration, allows the driver to punish all four wheels with 411 hp and a peak torque of 434 lb-ft (588), so the off-road (or on-road) madness is guaranteed.
