Travis Pastrana gets Wild Subaru WRXSTI for Next Gymkhana Video

Watch him take it for the first-time.

For the next installment Gymkhana series, Travis Pastrana will be taking the driver’s seat in Ken Block’s car. He’s equipped with a modified Subaru WRX STI for the job. Subaru partnered with Vermont SportsCar to create the car for exciting video racing.

Subaru has not provided any technical information about the Gymkhana WRX STI. According to the company, it uses a custom-made engine boxer with exhausts that come out of its hood. The suspension that has been overhauled is more durable than the stock. Carbon fiber body has massive fenders and wings, as well as a large diffuser.

Pastrana is more comfortable driving to win races than to perform flashy stunts. He is shown figuring out how to turn a corner using a reverse entry. This involves backing into the turn, then accelerating away. Pastrana initially seems a little hesitant, but after several runs and some coaching, he soon gets it under control.

Although we don’t know the engine’s power, Pastrana repeatedly mentions in the video that the car has plenty of power. A glimpse at the performance shows that the car is capable of producing exciting Gymkhana episodes.

He is also available to help you choose the right tire for your Gymkhana. It’s difficult to find a tire that provides enough grip and smoke to make you look good on video.

Gymkhana 11 is expected to premiere before the end, though the Hoonigan people won’t give a precise date.
