Ken Block and precision driving go together like copy and paste. In association with the long-in-the-tooth Need for Speed franchise, the king of hoon presents the sixth outing of Gymkhana.
Titled as the “Ultimate Gymkhana Grid Course”, Block jumps slides his heavily modified 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST 2013 through shipping containers, under parked excavators, and even has a close call with a wrecking ball (Miley Cyrus sadly not included).
While it might not have the pageantry of Gymkhana 4, it’s still a showcase of his incredible driving skills. If the sound of backfires and tyre squeals is music to your ears, then you’ll love Gymkhana 6. Check it out below.
