I rarely like videos like this - I usually don't even watch em. A friend sent me this and I'm so glad I watched the whole thing. It's an incredible video.

It's crazy that he's driving for Ford now. Good PR for them though to have such a name on their team. Him and Pastrana are fucking nuts.

Lol this makes us think he is really good, but he is last place in the WRC. Wonder if the other drivers can do this stuff better than him. I mean he is good at this, just not the best in rallying I guess.

yea, i see where you're going with that ^^

i guess stunt driving and racing instincts are two totally different worlds.
he may just be, one of the best precision drivers i've ever seen.. of course, like mentioned before... this may have taken multiple takes for each section to make...

who knows... its cool though

If they practice as much as he does, they probably could. A lot of this can be seen back in the old Group B Rally car videos when they performed scandinavian flicks & what not.

When Ken Block switched alliances earlier this year – ditching his Subaru Impreza WRX STI for a a rallified 2011 Ford Fiesta – there was no doubt in anyone's mind that an all-new Gymkhana variant was right around the corner. Tonight in San Francisco, we finally got an eyeful of Block's new ride, and as you'd suspect, it's meaner, wider and ridiculously more powerful than its predecessor.

The Gymkhana Three Fiesta was built by the same team that produced his Monster World Rally Team hatch, and includes a boosted 2.0-liter four-pot capable of 850 horsepower (de-tuned with a restrictor plate to output 650 hp in the name of tractability) and 660 pound-feet of torque. Partnered with a Olsbergs Motorsport-developed MSE Maktrak six-speed sequential transmission and powering all four wheels, the new Gymkhana contender will hit 60 mph in two seconds flat and according to Block, can "handle loose, while still providing complete control."

We plan to grill Block about his plans this evening, but in the meantime, make the jump for the official details and check out the teaser from earlier today.
im not sure if its going to be sold here though.
