Mmmmmm...

The car packs a 2.5 litre, four-cylinder Millington motor that generates 333 naturally-aspirated horses and absolutely screams at the limit when stretched out to the 9,000 rpm redline. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox" You can learn more about it here: http://blog.hoonigan.com/gymkhana-escort/

That's pretty cool! Prefer the Hoonicorn still though

333bhp from a 2.5 4 cylinder N/A is pretty impressive.

Those massive wheels too. Swoon.

Very nice indeed. Ken Block will have fun screaming around sideways in that.

Looks to be quite a beast, My step son was competing at the Gymkhana in the 340.

He also had some fun against the Mustang.

Competing in a 340? A Volvo 340?
That's blown my mind. Looks a beast though

Any more pics/info on that one? Looks interesting.

I will try & sort some, to be fair it has been running a V8 for the last 2 seasons but had a clio/Williams engine before that.

Hi,
I hope I'm not treading on Lee's toes mentioning this, but there are a few photos on the Facebook page.

Holy Mackeral. I've never fancied a Volvo before this. I feel dirty.

No problem Andrew.

I have given him plenty of grief over the years about the Volvo but to be honest I think its cool that he is competing against some high spec cars with big budgets in something out of the ordinary.

Hi Lee,
I imagine that he gets a lot of support from the spectators for that very reason. We all like to see a driver do well in what appears to be an unusual car.
Good on him.

Andrew.
