Ken Block’s Terrakhana is off-roading bliss

Ken Block is quite probably the world’s most famous gymkhana driver.

That’s not to say he’s the best, though a point could be made for that. Still, considering how famous he is, have you ever seen him tackle a completely off-road gymkhana?

If not, you have now – and it’s called Terrakhana.

The 450kW Fiesta was airborne on several occasions, though the sand didn’t provide as soft a landing as you might think. But a loose front bumper never stopped Block.

The Garrett turbocharged 2.0-litre four has a fair bit more kick than most Fiestas, and Hoonigan Racing says it’s capable of 0-100km/h in under 2 seconds.

Though not one of his ‘official’ Gymhkhana series, the almost five-minute long thrash around the desert features some of the most visually pleasing shots we’ve seen.

Or maybe that’s just the rally fans among us.

The massive dust-storm at 2:30 is also pretty intense.

Of course, it is a sponsored video, so at the end Block pulls into a Pennzoil tent and has a look at some printed charts a man in a Pennzoil shirt shows him and points to.

We aren’t sure what the printout would even be.

However, we can forgive Pennzoil after the Dodge videos they’ve been bringing us…
