    Tyres may have only lasted 7 minutes but I am surprised they did as well as that!!
  • A 2011 Ford Fiesta? So is that some supercharged new 2011 Fiesta ST or something?:D
  • I was expecting images of the classic flat cap/trilby wearing 40 MPH man. :)

    thats ok, but why upgrade a !!!!!! car when you could just race a factory standard decent car?

    Normally he uses a modified Impreza.

    Also he normally doesn't hit the wall, or the cones or tear out chunks of grass. For a Ken Block video there was quite a lot of fail in that one. Still better than I could ever hope to manage, of course!
  • Ah, the latest in the Ken Block Gymkhana series, seems good at this kind of stuff but doesn't seem to preform quite as well in his rallying career, as for the derogatory remarks about the car, the Ford Fiesta RS is going to be the new World Rallying Championship car that Ford will be using next year to replace the Focus RS, so it cant be that bad and will of course be highly modified, hopefully it will keep up with Citroens!

    Im presuming the Fiesta Ken was using was built for this and the other demos he does, dont think the WRC cars will have as much power as Kens Fiesta.

    If you notice his radio is tuned to radio 2, best source of information on traffic problems even at weekends!

    Nothing short of a Veyron is going to match that in standard trim.It probably weighs around 1000kg(it looked awd, so 1-200kg less if its not)and has 650bhp.It stated 0-60 in 1.9 seconds and thats achievable with those figures, so its 0-100mph is probably around 4-5 seconds.It could most likely do 0-100-0 again in less time than a so called fast car could do 0-60.No factory standard car would match it on handling or braking either, they're not designed to do what that thing does.
    It begs the question "why?" but will always be answered with "why not?"
