2011 Ford Fiesta - New Ken Block Gymkhana 3 Car


If you haven't seen Ken Block's jaw dropping Gymkhana 2 video by now you've probably been doing a 20 year stint at Folsom Prison or you're a parent with a toddler - different choices, same result, you don't get out much. Just in case - you can see it here.

Now we know there will be another super stellar stunt video and this time around Block trades the modified Subaru in for a tweaked Ford Fiesta - no, not the yellow hatchback from the 80s, the new 2011 Fiesta that's set to go on sale here in the US this Summer.

The Ford press release reads, in part - "For Monster World Rally Team driver Block, the opportunity to push the limits of his car control while maneuvering around a series of cones, slaloms, 180-degree and 360-degree and figure-eight turns and other obstacles all while utilizing extreme acceleration, braking and drifting is pretty much the definition of fun. For that reason, Block chose the Ford Fiesta as the car that will be purpose-built for his highly anticipated Gymkhana THREE."

What more can you say.
