Gymkhana EIGHT: Ken Block is Back in a Black-on-Black Ford Fiesta ST

We’ve witnessed Ken Block rip through abandoned airfields, retired racetracks, and the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles in the famous Gymkhana videos. Block, Toyo Tires and Hoonigan announced today that he’ll be back at it again in the 650hp Ford Fiesta ST, this time dressed in an all-new livery. Although the color scheme is stated to be black-on-black, it will actually change colors and design depending on the angle it’s viewed from and how light hits it. Beyond aesthetic changes, the eighth installation of Gymkhana premieres Block’s new multi-year partner Toyo Tires. For those that really dig the car’s new look, Hoonigan released a clothing collection that features the very same, black-on-black, reflective ink design. Tune in to Ford Performance’s YouTube channel on Monday, February 29th at 9 PM PST to see the tire-destroyer in action for Gymkhana EIGHT.
