He is undoubtedly an extreme sports icon but also he made a mistake! Ken Block recently destroyed his Ford Escort RS Cosworth (via 400 PS) on a rally ride in the US. Fortunately, Ken and co-driver Alex Gelsomino were uninjured, but beautiful Cosworth is completely burnt out. Done at the New England Forest Rally in Maine (USA). The video below shows the block with the driver's side slightly touched a stone, then the escort skidding, overturns and smashes on a tree.
Thanks to a lightning-fast reaction of the two occupants, they were able to leave the burning car in only a few seconds. After that, there was nothing left but to watch the burnout of the 1991-built rally car. The RS Cosworth was originally built for the WRC Group A races of the World Rally Championship. The highlights of the escort RS Cosworth were four-wheel drive, huge rear wing and longitudinally mounted 2,0-liter turbo engine with 230 PS.

- all-wheel transmissions
- built from 1992 to 1996 (7.145 copies)
