It’s Ken Block and he’s graced us with another video, this time of him hooning the tar out of a new Ford Focus RS. The new all-wheel-drive Focus RS is packing more than 315 horsepower and was announced to be arriving stateside shortly.
Of course Ken does not disappoint by pushing the limit in the new hatchback, as he drifts it around Ford’s Cologne plant. Ken Block always takes on new angles to incorporate into his videos, and this one is no different, including a unique drop from around 6 feet.
The new video with Block drifting the Ford Focus RS brings us back to Gymkhana Three, which seems so long ago. Flying primarily the DC Shoes banner in another Ford, Gymkhana Three was filmed just south of Paris, France in Linas at l’Autodrome de Linas –Montlhéry, a huge oval track built in 1924.
The new Ford Focus is gearing up for battle in the upcoming hatchback battles, and it’s remarkable nimble and powerful. The turbo 1.6 liter Ecoboost engine happens to be our personal favorite, with enough horsepower and torque throughout the RPM band to really uncork.
Drifting and the sport of Gymkhana is growing fast and if we know anything about Block and the Hoonigan crew there are many more drifting videos to come. If you like the new Ford Focus or like drift videos, make sure to subscribe to My Pro Street to catch up on all the drift action available.
