There’s been a lot of talk about whether Ken Block could stand up against world rally champ 40 times over, Sebastien Loeb. Most of verdicts say Block is nothing more than a showman – good for gymkhana displays of car control and little else. Thing is, when the guy isn’t pimping DC Shoes like they’ll [...]
This time with Rob Dyrdek. Hoon of the ages Ken Block just rolled out yet another Gymkhana video, this time including some go-kart shenanigans. While Dyrdek usually keeps himself to skateboard hooliganism, the guy slid himself down into a scale replica of Block’s Crawford-prepped Subaru STI to do battle with Block. Hilarity ensues. There are [...]
Good Mr. Ken Block is set to roll out another mind-bending Gymkhana video next month. While no one knows exactly what he has up his sleeves, we do have a few vague details. For one, the Fiend among Fiends is rolling in a brand new car and will take on a whole new locale. The [...]
And not just for testing. Subaru’s performance arm is set to take on the 24 Hours of Nurburgring next month in a specially-prepared Impreza WRX. The car rocks a mostly stock motor, though a number of chassis-stiffening components have been added to help the car cope with a full day’s worth of abuse. STI will [...]
Subaru just let loose word that a new, kinder, more gentle STI is headed our way. Called the A-Line, the car is meant to cater to folks who dig on the STI badge, but aren’t quite ready to dive into the hardcore sports machine boots and all. The result is the first STI with an [...]
There are driving gods, and then there titans descended from cartopia itself. Ken Block is one such titan, and he set up camp at an abandoned air field for four days to prove it. The fine folks at 0-60 Magazine were able to get their hands on footage of Block strutting his stuff for the [...]
Subaru plans to crank out a special edition WRX STI to commemorate the car’s 20th birthday. Complete with a few suspension tweaks and a couple of exterior additions, the car is bound to hold a special place in the covetous hearts of Subie owners everywhere. This special STI comes with even more aggressive springs and [...]
Subaru recently unveiled this concept at the Motorsport Japan 2008 event in Tokyo. While the car looks just like a plain old WRX to the untrained eye, STI has had its way with the hottie hatch, reworking the car’s drivetrain, springs, shocks and even adding a few aero touches here and there. Not convinced what [...]
If this don’t get you giddy, we don’t know what will. Subaru is taking a long and/or hard look at jumping into the FIA’s WTCC, and while the World Touring Car Championship is a far cry from the winding snow and gravel stages the rally bruiser is accustomed to, the company has proven its mettle [...]
In what is a lead up to next week’s X Games Rally Race here in LA, Travis Pastrana backflipped his motorcycle over Subaru Rally Team USA teammate Ken Block’s Monster Energy WRX STI for the cover of the latest issue of Racer X magazine. And of course it wouldn’t be real if there wasn’t a YouTube video. [...]
