It’s time for tires to be killed. They all.
Gymkhana videos by Ken Block are a hit on YouTube. Perhaps none has been as anticipated as Gymkhana 10! Today’s epic video features the DC Shoes co-founder and pro driver Ken Block driving to five locations in the world to puncture tires in five vehicles. You probably know all the details unless you were dead or on an asteroid. For those who don’t know, welcome back to the afterlife or your journey around the galaxy. Below is a glimpse of the madness.
This iteration of the tire smoking extravaganza sees Mr. Block make three stops in the U.S.A., as well as trips to Mexico, Sweden and Mexico. The latter doesn’t really slay tires, since it was winter during the visit, but that’s beside the point. These vehicles are not small. The world tour begins with a WRC-spec Ford Fiesta with 385 horsepower against the frozen backdrop of Sweden. Next, the action moves to Detroit, with the famous Hoonicorn Mustang. Its 1,400 horsepower motor did in fact destroy tires to Biblical proportions.
After the Motor City romp Block makes his way south in his Ford Focus RX, where he terrorizes Guanajuato. He returns to America at the fourth stop, this time in Los Angeles. Ironically, he ignites all sorts of flames with his since-deceased Escort RSS Cosworth.
This is quite an exciting event, but Block’s loyal fans will tune it to the final location. It will feature the debut of the 1977 Ford F-150, also known as the Hoonitruck. We have already seen the truck revealed . The truck is powered by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine from the Ford GT. However, this time it delivers 914 horsepower to all four wheels.
We could continue for at least another page, sharing our opinions and backstory from The Gymkhana Files that aired on Amazon Prime. Let’s face it, the cars and the tire smoke don’t matter. So check out our small gallery and enjoy the 19-minute-long video. It is definitely worth it.
