Hoonigan: An individual who drives a motor vehicle aggressively and unorthodoxly. This includes drifting, burnouts or doughnuts as well as other acts of automotive aeronautics.
One of Utah’s hidden treasures is Ken Block’s playground to Terrakhana in Swingarm City. There are so many jumps, ridges and obstacles that you can create the perfect hoonfilm, it is no surprise that extra footage was left behind. It is the first and only installment entirely on dirt. This is still one of the most ambitious Gymkhana films.
Block has released some of the most popular automotive content online. It’s not surprising that director Brian Scotto isn’t afraid to secure iconic locations. Previous films have featured landmarks such as the San Francisco Bay Bridge or the Hollywood sign. KB, who lives in Park City, Utah, had seen Swingarm several times before and considered it a good choice for the film.
We were impressed by the car’s performance throughout the film. Although his Ford Fiesta RX43 Rallycross all-wheel-drive Ford Fiesta RX43 Rallycross has 600 horsepower (447kilowatts), we are not sure about its anti-lag system. Although we could say his Fiesta RX43 Rallycross car is “Built Ford Tough”, that little guy laughed at the features that would make trophy trucks need manhood counseling.
Ford Performance even wanted to take advantage of the occasion to test the Fiesta RX43 beyond its limits. Although we know that Ford Performance would not reveal the details of what went wrong, the most significant damage we were able to spot was in the body panels.
This video is an extended cut and would not be complete without an outtake reel. We could watch the Rallycross Fiesta racing through dirt all day. But, we would rather hear Vivaldi’s Concerto No. Unexpectedly, 2 in G Minor was a match made in Heaven.
The second installment of Climbkhana is now available for all to see. It’s not clear where the series will go or if it will continue. We hope that Vaughn Gittin Jr., and the mach-E 1400 will have a chance to get 15 minutes of fame from Ford Performance regardless of the date of the finale.
