Ken Block's GymKhana 8: A Thrilling Ride in Dubai
Overview of GymKhana 8
The big, brash, and tyre-wrecking machine Ken Block is back again with his GymKhana video. Titled GymKhana 8, the latest clip features him pouncing around a Ford Fiesta in our very own backyard—Dubai.
Dubai's Iconic Features in the Video
The video has everything that Dubai has to offer in terms of cars, including:
- The entire fleet of Dubai Police cars boxing the Fiesta for a 360 burnout.
- A truck pulling a plane for another 360 session.
- A pick-up that runs on two wheels for Ken to do 360 around it while in motion on the iconic Sheikh Zayed Road.
- Ken jumping on a helicopter to perform a somersault into the ocean.
Exploring Dubai's Landmarks
Moreover, the video features brief shots of various places in Dubai, including:
- The Palm
- Madinat Jumeirah
- Dubai Mall Fountain
- Skydive Dubai
- And of course, the desert.
Drag Race with Supercars
Additionally, there is a drag race between Block’s Fiesta and a couple of supercars from Dubai, including:
- Lexus LFA
- Bugatti Veyron
- Ferrari F12
- Lamborghini Aventador
This drag race is just for fun since the UAE is known as a playground for supercars.
Ford's Promotional Touch
The video also features a couple of Fords kept as display pieces across various spots in a cheeky manner by Ford to promote its future models. In the video, try to look out for the Focus RS and the new Ford GT conveniently placed to show off.
Ken Block's Customized Ford Fiesta
Coming to Ken’s car itself, it is a Ford Fiesta customized by a special group with expertise in rallying to give it an astonishing 650 BHP. Couple that power with an AWD and super sticky tires, and the small Fiesta propels from 0-100 in just 1.8 seconds.
Watch the Video
Basically, Ken didn’t require many props in this video like his previous clips because Dubai itself is a playground for the hooligan. Watch the video below and enjoy:
