The shell of the car is a straight custom widebody from OMSE. You won’t see another like it and the function aero is all constructed of carbon-Kevlar. Inside the cabin, Block has everything he needs to stay safe and competitive. The KBT cage surrounds a pair of Recaro Profil seats. The buckets are dressed with Sabelt harness and all of the driver inputs are made with a Sparco carbon fiber wheel. In the trunk are a pair of ATL fuel cells and all of the obligator custom carbon fiber and sheet metal work.
From what we have seen from Block over the last decade he doesn’t half-step anything. He carved out a legendary rep in the extreme sports world, made millions in the fashion industry and has rewritten the rules of what is hip in the performance aftermarket. Everything he touches turns to gold and we expect nothing short of an outstanding rise in popularity for the motorsport he has truly put on the map.
