Gymkhana Eight to air Feb 29 – new Fiesta ST revealed

The original Hoonigan, Ken Block, is back, folks. The pro rally driver with a passion for annihilating tyres with insane power slides has released a teaser video for the eighth instalment of his infamous Gymkhana series.

Gymkhana Eight airs February 29 on Ford Performance’s Youtube channel. For now, here’s a closer look at Block’s new ride for the show — the all-wheel drive, 650 hp Ford Fiesta ST RX43.

With tyres supplied by Toyo (Toyo Proxes R1R), Block’s latest Fiesta features a new lively paint job. The “ultra reflective livery” appears to change colours as you look at it from different angles, which should be well appreciated given Block’s preferred driving style.

Watch the video above, check out the new car, and remember to mark your calendars for February 29. Also, check out the video below for a recap of the Hoonigan at work on Gymkhana Seven.
