Default Ken Block 2015 Livery

Inspired by space. And galaxies. And science.

Ken has just released his latest livery on his RX43. He has also been teasing the new RS all day. He's doing a good job pushing the Ford brand =)



I like it a lot =) Love Tony Harmers photography!

Is that for real lol. Like the wheels and the hooligan blue but those stars just don't look right
Ken block is amazing for ford. Very clever getting his branding on board. KB is a pretty solid expert himself apparently.

Those rims look like a mix of that old 80's style with the 5 star in the middle, thats cool.

Agreed KB must be doing many great things for Ford...inclusing using the Mustang aswell.

It does look sensational. I'm sure Ford handed over plenty of $$$ to get Ken on board in rallying and his Gymkhana videos, smart move by Ford's marketing department to get their cars involved in such highly viewed videos.

It also helps sell the Fiesta & Focus better too. Which seems to be the direction Ford want to go in their marketing department.

He loves the fact he put 70% power to the rear wheels of the new Focus RS for donuts?

Looks great, almost like an oversize RC toy car. Appropriate for a bloke who has arguably one of the funnest jobs in the world!
