He’s the ultimate stunt god who lets nothing stand in his way, and he’s just released a video of his latest extreme drift escapades behind the wheel of a 600bhp Ford Focus RS RX.
Gymkhana Nine follows Ken Block as he drives at ludicrous speeds through a post-apocalyptic industrial landscape of wrecked old factories, wharves and wasteland. The jaw-dropping sideways action sees the professional king of drift perform at his very best, from spinning sideways with the rear wheels balancing over a deep drop into the harbour, to racing a train to a crossing.
Block’s tyre-smoking Focus RS RX can hit 0-60mph in 1.9sec, and he also uses it to compete in the FIA World Rallycross Championship. The crazy man’s instincts are as fast as his reactions; this is stunning stuff. Just don’t try it at home.
