Pour ceux qui veulent plus de détails et de spec

When Block chose to build an all-wheel-drive Mustang a Roush Yates built 410ci Ford small-block topped with Roush Yates D3 cylinder heads was used instead of a turbo four-banger.
The Ford small-block uses a Barnes dry sump oiling system, critical in keeping the bearings supplied with oil when the car is experiencing extreme lateral acceleration.
The interior is race car Spartan, with carbon-fiber dash and a bead-blasted aluminum trans tunnel. The handle nearest Block’s driver seat is the shifter for the sequential six-speed Sadev transmission and the billet Hoonigan lever is for the rear brakes. Mounted at the forward end of the tunnel is a MoTec C125 data logger.
The Mustang uses Tilton 600-Series floor-mount forged aluminum pedals.
Using billet upper and lower control arms and heavy-duty joints, the front suspension rallycross inspired and looks like a hybrid between road race car and a desert truck. Few of either have all-wheel drive.
Massive billet aluminum arms transfer suspension movement from the lower control arm to cantilevered center-mounted coilovers.
This undercarriage shot shows the rectangular steel tube chassis and crossmembers built by Autosport Dynamics as well as the tri-Y headers that lead to oval exhaust tubing and the SADEV SC90-24/170 six-speed sequential transmission and transfer case.
A set of three-piece forged Tarmac R40 wheels from Fifteen52 were given a matte gold powdercoat before being fitted with 295/30R18 Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires.

5 days, can't wait to see the video.
I've noticed lately that every young punk driving a base model ford Fiesta drives like a Ken Block wannabe douchebag. Then there's all those flat brim wearing Subaru guys that he spawned. Glad I won't have to worry about seeing the same thing with '65 Ford Mustangs!
