*"To be specific about it, that would be four-wheel-drive drifting..."
(Now with added rally footage - apologies for the reupload, but we felt this improved the opening sequence of the video).
Ever wondered what drifting is, and what got Gymkhana hero Ken Block involved in the sport? In this exclusive Autocar video Block explains what fired his interest and how he does his magic... before turning those words in to pictures as he gets behind the wheel of his 845bhp all-wheel-drive Hoonicorn Mustang to give us the ride of our life.
Special thanks for additional footage to Hoonigan and HRD/Ken Block. See Gymkhana 7 here - • [HOONIGAN] KEN BLOCK'S...

People talk so much shit about Ken Block, but in every interview I see him in, he's always so humble and pleasant.
+mojostevo Im pretty sure most of the hate arent towards his personality or himself. Its towards the hype around him. Hes way too overrated.
I hate over hyping just as much as the next person, but blame media, not the subject. They'd hype paint drying if they thought if would bring attention.
I kinda just hate the whole bro culture he stands for and represents... Like he tries to always shoehorn Monster Energy and DC shoes into everything he does. Especially annoying with his "look at me" style of doing things.
+mojostevo Hes a nice guy, but isnt really that good in anything except riding on sponsors and doing these cool shit videos for children
+Field Tested Semen I wonder what would you do with those brands if one was that you created and another you co-founded or something like that. ALSO you SHOULD do it when you are SPONSORED by them, thats how it works.
Rest in peace Ken Block 💔
The V8 was all the music we needed.
I have this exact same car in my garage............. on need for speed. lol
Same
i love that car i just changed the black to white and silver
ps4 or crapbox
You do know there's something far more superior than those 2 door stops?
PRANKurFACE of
Why the terrible music when there's a V8 being thrashed?
Wesley Thompson why can't i give this comment more than one thumbs up?
+Wesley Thompson To try and make a dull video less dull I suppose. Not all engines in all situations are worth listening to. This is dull.
+Wesley Thompson as Mr. Harold Slovinsky would say "This is the the music that kids like.. He, he, he..."
+vtr0104 he would smoke dat mustang in his si XD
+bwhobackk Dubstep in general is a good choice for action background music, this particular one is very bad though.
Remove the music, it ruins the video. We need to hear the car not the stupid music.
From all true car guys.
forget about it!...he's has many other videos with this car in it,go watch those WITHOUT music.
Audiwan Kenobi
I was just saying, not trying to insult people or anything like that...the car engine IS the music.
Come on now!...now you gonna come up in here crankin on my mama?...not cool man!
And the car girls..

**wet kiss**
5:41 that camera man is a savage😂😂
Steve Gudina "strictly no viewing from this gate"
G0D is hiring tripod probably
Ken Block...You're my frickin gymkhana hero! He's so precise and smooth...I've never seen anything like that. Even the fuzzy steering wheel was cool (well...ok, not as much as the driving).
The fact that Ken drifts an AWD car like an RWD fills me with awe. He has some serious car control :o
AWD is quite literally easier to control mid-slide.
He is drifting like other people walk in the park. So chilled while drifting/sliding.
I love watching him drift it with one hand like it's nothing. XD
Tasty Tyrone powersliding* it's awd
LockeNess Motorsports in this case the car is completely loose so it is definitely drifting, he can even get it loose at lower speeds due to its incredible torque and power
Well... if I were to have an awd drift car, I'd just pick a crown Victoria
itsjustacop that's what I would personally would do as well. I just feel very awkward while driving with both hands on the wheel unless I am going at a high rate of speed. One time when I was driving after the snow storm just finished in New Jersey and I was driving with my permit. The back tires on the car i was driving lost grip as I was making a right turn. And so I counter steered and the car went sideways for a good bit of time without crashing into any of the other cars in the road. My dad was surprised that I knew immediately what to do when the car lost contact and that I could get the car where I wanted it to go and in pretty much the safest manner possible. He asked me how I knew what to do and I said a whole lotta driving in GTA 5 LOL. But during that turn and the counter steering and keeping control of the vehicle i really did feel great. And I loved every second of it. I am thinking about getting into rally racing. Or at least drifting.
@@stephenfitzsimmons1752 5:29 powerslide that far??? That is a drift
This dude pretty much got me into wanting to learn to drift. One day I'd like to make a drift build :)
Bad ass v8 no engine sounds. Koolaid no sugar. Peanut butter no jelly. Cereal no milk......etc............Get it?
😂😂😂😂😂 true
+M Dutchy just put some water with it
Dick no pussy, Xbox no Forza, I'm pretty sure I got this
Yes
M Dutchy Friday reference?
We love you and we are so proud of you Kenny Boi 🥺💚🤘 thanks for everything!
~kb43ver
I've heard dubstep before but I have yet to hear enough of this glorious sounding v8. Great job at starting off with a fantastic interview and then shitting the bed on the onboard.
I feel like I can do it now. Thanks ken block I can safely drift by people on the streets cause this video properly taught me how👍🏽
i seriously fucking wish i could be sitting in that car right now
Love the passion he shares - you can see it in his eyes!
Also the racing scabs on his elbows from riding some kind of other toy (bike, skateboard?)
"I come from stage rally." If the forest next to the road is the stage, then yes, yes you do.
No. Stage is referring to the type of rally, being on a closed course. Usually in timed increments with each driver going at different times. You are way off.
The way he uses the front wheel drive to pull him out of the drift is pretty amazing.
You know what, I'd love to see this car being set up for the track and driven that way. Stiffer suspension, longer gear ratios, I think it would be quite a serious piece of kit.
Great guy and a very good driver. That said, I think RWD drifting is more impressive than 4WD. With enough room a 4WD can often claw itself out of the oversteer with some throttle. On the other hand, barreling down country roads in a rally car is the single most difficult thing there is in motorsport I think.
+Peter Timowreef If you think that barreling down country roads in a rally car is the single most difficult thing there is in motorsport then you need to step your game up and watch the Isle of Man TT. Craziest thing on wheels. No navigator and no protection hitting 200 mph on country roads and two wheels puts rally car racing to shame when it comes to big man balls.
John Smith
They certainly take more risks yes. But they know the track like the back off their hands, they're not constantly on the limit between grip and slide and most importantly, the pressure is a lot smaller. No big company to slap their hands when they lift.
+John Smith You guys need to check out the Baja 1000. That is the epitome of offroad racing.
it's a lot harder to throw that car in an oversteer type of cornering . it's a very well know fact that 4wd likes to understeer more than oversteer
Salman Alharthi
In general yes, but with a custom build like Ken's driving you can set it up as oversteery as you want by sending more power to the rear.
no one can beat u .you are the king of drifting Ken block .hat's offf Ken Block
Love watching you go Straight sideways (as I call it). So incredible you are! And adorable! (Btw the word you were looking for was instinctual) it’s your passion and you rock!
Ken block is the man :D :D :D
Dubstep is not background music. When will they learn?
dubstep is not music. it's just random sounds
+Euan Matthew there is no definition of "music" its all just vibrations in a rhythm.
Shona you have to at least make it sound good
+Euan Matthew This is very shit dubstep, (which by the way, this is barely even dubstep. The BPM Is not high enough for it to be classed as dubstep) but regardless, that's your opinion. Just because a few people like yourself aren't ready to change to electronic music, does not mean it should seize to exist.
+Shona LOL He never said that it shouldn't exist. I also assure you that there are alot of people (me included) that will never make the "change" to electronic music like that.
He is a great Teacher. Some don't need to much Audio lessons and like he said; Loving it and a lot of hours practicing and doing it! Thumbs Up!
Ken always made it look so easy. RIP 43 Block 4ever!!! You will be sorely missed...
*makes a how to drift video
*uses an 800+ hp AWD car
-__-
+TheFutureEVH Why not?
+Abbadon the Destroyer o u even drift, bruh?
´Cuz Ken Blocks doesn´t.
Javier Cabañas I can
in video games
+TheFutureEVH they cover that its not real drifting but awe drifting in the beginning of the video
Abbadon the Destroyer Like we all do... :P
No one beats the Japanese in this business, the best drifters in the world and they do it in the narrow streets of Tokyo...
huss1205 and because of that "No ONE SLEEP IN TOKYO! ALL NIGHT CROSSING THE LINE!"
huss1205 this guys beats the Japanese
advanced muffin in an AWD... are you sure about that?
AWD drifting is much more challenging than RWD... you have to steer alot differently and unlike RWD, timing is the most important part, not throttle.
You can see how much power this thing has by just looking at them jump forward when he shifts to next gear.
KB is BA. Glad he has an amazing camera crew so we get to see what game driving is like in reality!
my life would be complete if I was able to ride with him just once and be able to experience this in real life
Bro...
😢
Damn man
Drifting was started by the Japanese and there is a story in which a delivery boy drove a modified ae86 and encountered a sharp corner and instinctively pulled his handbrake. Thus led to a power slide, and the car did not lose speed, and went through the corner without crashing. *He modified his ae86 to make his deliveries faster.* ~From what I heard which I believe was logical.
HAHAHA you are fkn gold haha
Maaaaan, you act like nobody has watched initial D LMAO
Hahahaha uf u believe that theres a bridge ive got to sell you
Drifting is a controlled sliding maneuver at full throttle, in a nutshell. I would love to spend a weekend in this car with this dude, that would be the ultimate vacation.
Ken Block seems like a stand up guy from what I’ve seen. Paired with a well done review, nice vid.
Imagine "Drift my Ride" with Ken B!!!!!!
Lets play a game...
Everytime Ken tells us he 'came from stage rally' the group has a shot...and for every 'win' Ken had everyone skolls the glass...should be drunk enough to believe him...eventually.
He's actually won a lot of stage rally and rally cross events in America
WE HERE AT VICTORY MISSION SALINAS JUST LOVE KEN BLOCK!! HE IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST DRIVERS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!! GO GET EM MR. BLOCK!!!! CANT HARDLY WAIT FOR YOUR NEXT VIDEO!!!!!! YOU RULE THE DRIFT WORLD!@!!!!
Ken Block my hat goes off to you. You really know how to maintain the drift with that '65 mustang.
Lol that's not a mustang anymore
+LLAMASinNEED a rollcage with the weight of a go kart with a big ass v8
DutchySir and an awd mod, and crazy tuning
This is an interesting NFS DLC..
50LightSabersInAPack nope forza horizon 3
1 and only g4mer agreed
NFS would need it more...
It is one in NFS 3015
You give EA too much hope :(
Stop putting dubstep in everything.
uwot robert?
OFOKINWOTM8??
Robert Anderson Are you gay or something
This is just bad music. There are a lot of good dubstep and DnB tracks out there for car videos but they chose this. Smh
*WUB*
This Guy is Magic behind the wheel of that thing. I respect someone who can handle a car that well. The Mustang was always cool in my book but this is Just Incredible
as soon as I seen the 3rd person view in the cabin of him drifting I liked the video
forget ferraris and lambos, if i won the lottery i would have one of these made, or maybe 5 because i would crash them all.
True just over rated as hell lol
I get that you're joking, but just... No. People who treat classic cars simply as metal boxes that happen to be old are the worst people. There is a finite fucking amount, the more people that go around mindlessly destroying them, the less there are for enthusiasts to appreciate. There's barely even any Mustang left on this, so as long as what they started with was a rusty body and not a complete car (tearing apart a complete car to modify it is just as bad as taking a sledgehammer to the car), as long as nothing happens to any of the original parts I couldn't care less what happens to this car.
+MaxTheKanuck I mean it doesn't *HAVE* to be a classic Mustang. He could use many different cars for it (talking about OP).
+MaxTheKanuck I agree completely but what do you mean by keep the original parts
Na I would get an 89 s13 and put a 2jzgte in it way more potential.
at 5:46 dont do not it strictly said that "strictly no viewing from this gate " 😂
4:33 Kens face is priceless XD
Ken block is a beast!! This is the sickest car ive seen
He knows how to drift a all wheel drive car. My mom say that's impossible
How to drift: be sponsored by ford.
PandaMcTanda crowd killing intensifies
This has to be one of the most awesome toy cars in the entire world :).
What Matt said is true. The car is set up to drift very stably. Looking at Ken's steering input, every angle you feed it almost needs no big corrections. I think this car will do very very well in any Drift event. Ken should try at least 1 round just to see if he could fill his off season time for it.
TURN OFF THE FUCKING DUBSTEP WHEN THE V8 IS MAKING PRETTY NOISES!!!!!
Mustang? What remained from a mustang?)))
Aspart the badge?
+Aspart There's a video with Chris Harris I think and i think it's only the pillars.
+Aspart there s a video on his mustang, what s left is the roof and another part i can t remember...... so yeah not much mustang
+Aspart A- pillar
+zomgahhh and the roof... I think
The ad before this video was one for a Nissan leaf and they were showing off its self driving ability... great placement
why is everyone hating on the music, I honestly think the one thing missing from all gymkhana videos is a good soundtrack
so how do you drift?
Johnny Bravp not with money but with love. anything i can get my hands on
From what I understand, come from rally cross with a car strong enough it drives on asphalt like gravel! Then yank the e brake while flooring it and steer in the opposite direction?
who knows ken doesn't obviously, he crash all the damn time
the title is pretty misleading. I felt a little underwhelmed at the end. If the title would have said: quick interview with ken block or something like that, the drifting at the end would have felt like a bonus. This way around, I just got information that pretty much everybody already knows and too less drifting.
The video itself is totally fine, but please don´t put music over drifting sounds and think harder about the titles.
No matter what it was named, im sure someone would complain about it.
Ken has one of the most insane talents on the planet.
I believe his comment of off the scale is somewhat of an understatement
Still no new intro? im feeling the 80's when that intro comes on...
4 wheel drifting??.. drifting is for real wheel drive.
4 wheel sliding is call Powerslide. correct me if im wrong.
The intro looks a lot like that one scene from 2F2F in which they gather a bunch of cars and the main characters switch cars to confuse the cops.
The long row of garages, the chain pulley system to open the gates, the low framerate camera shot while the car goes by, the echoing sound of the engine revving inside of the garage..
I wish I could meet Ken Block. Ever since I've seen his first video and played his Dirt rally games, I've been in love with cars and his work. My dream to ride with him in one of his cars. Because of Ken Block, I am going to school for automotive mechanics so I can always be around cars. Ken Block Is Beast!
Ken Block will forever be the best. That's it.
At being sponsored to do powersliding? Hum
srsly???
These Where Not powerslides XD
You are joking right 😂😂😂😂 please say you are
Patnik awd is not drifting its powerslides 😂
5:42 You bad boy. LMAO
Drifting is an art
Everyone says mustangs can't drift but it's all about skills
i still cant believe they made an AWD Mustang... but great video!
i preffer RWD Dirift...
+-TwinTurbo250 Productions- Thanks to vaughn and rtr
This car has only look from a mustang
Anonimowy Anonim What do you mean?
MultiTerpen i mean this car has completely different engine, different chassis. they only made a similiar body
Anonimowy Anonim Do you seriously think that every race car and drift car uses the stock engine with the stock chassis??
Ken's Eyes at 4:33 Creepper
Levi Barclay fucks sakes 😂😂😂
Levi Barclay I keep replaying it 😂 I can't stop laughing
Levi Barclay He's just so excited to "show him" lol
its cause of all the Monster hes probably consumed in his life
How he Drift is Like he`s in VIDEO GAME! really AMAZING
Block's face @ 4:33, he's so excited hahaha
this presenter guy is not good at talking how did he end up on this show have no idea..
You're not much better.
Drift God
The face he makes at 4:34 is so funny, love this video
That corner entry is unbelievable!
5:42 No fucks were given.
I wanted to listen to the car... not that terrible music...
Ken Block is the most badass drivers in the world nobody has driving skills like him
I wanted to dislike but the car is so well modified and prepared. So well driven too.
Omg whoever decided to add that shitty song to this video... just why? Ruins it.
agreed, made it pretty much unwatchable
I don't like to hate on this guy and what he does. I really dislike a lot of the elitism that can exist around drifting. His videos are pretty cool too, and I'm sure they take a lot of skill, that I could never hope to to compare to. That Mustang is pretty sweet as well (although I think I'd like it more if it was RWD). But I still can't help but be more impressed by what people like Tsuchiya and Team Burst do. I think RWD drifting just looks more graceful and entertaining to watch too.
Scrustle huss 1205 thinks Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift is a documentary... shame.
+stubones there are videos to show japanese people drifting in mountains better than the ones in tokyo drift so shut it
Gautam Raj
You know what else is a documentary? Godzilla.A giant lizard really did attack Tokyo! Now you shut it and go look for lizards, boy ;)
+Scrustle Do you know how much harder it is to drift an AWD vehicle?
I agree that *Tsuchiya is the shit*, but anybody can drift a RWD drift car, that's why there's youtube videos everywhere. AWD drifting is sliding THE ENTIRE VEHICLE and all 4 tires, infinitely harder to drift with the front AND rear of the vehicle, RWD is like ballet, AWD is more like breakdancing LMAO.
even saudi boys less than 20 years of age drift using SUV's. this video is no different than the amateur drift but just uses more professional video editing and sounds
This guy seems so humble
he turns the steering wheel so fucking great idk man, this guy my hero
Not even a mustang anymore lol
well, technically, it is still a Mustang because of the Ford engine and body. Regardless of the drivetrain it is still a Mustang
Dude. It's become something way better. It's part of Ken now. Almost like a second skin. Now that's deep.
+Sam Sveistrup Ford gear, but yeh its not a Mustang anymore.
The only original part they left on the car was the roof panel apparently.
+Sam Sveistrup It's not supposed to be
how can you talk about the history of drifting and not bring up JAPAN!!!😱😱😱
+rodriguez hill Because Japan weren't rally driving in the 60's. Did you actually listen to anything he said ?
Evan Davis did you not get what I said it's about drift not rally read the topic.
rodriguez hill Clearly you didn't listen to what he was saying then.
+Evan Davis let me say it like this so just maybe you just mite be able to comprehend to what it is I'm trying to say,you can't bring up drifting with Japan being in the mix how about that.
rodriguez hill Actually you can because rally drivers where drifting long before Japan even thought of it. How about that.
all cars should be built just like this.
I found this very interesting!! How ever if one day he is in my area like to see if he can fit 6ft 9 in the passenger seat!!
pause at 4:33
Dat face
Who needs AWD and 900hp to drift? Ken Block...
Who can drift using a 140hp RWD Corolla? Tsuchiya.... Go Home Ken
William Henrickson Eh well, this is more for powersliding and getting stupid stupid lines to work easily. Not as impressive as drifting a god damn corolla, still impressive though.
He is drifting awd tho. It's harder
William Henrickson you don’t need it but why the fuck not? It confuses me how someone can complain about a 900hp awd mustang
You can dis him when you can do what he does.
William Henrickson *eurobeat intensifies*
When I was in stage rally, I come from stage rally, I dont know much about this, I learnt it in stage rally, thats where I come from.. Stage Rally!
what he's doing is hard af it's just insane to be that good with awds
awd can't compete with rwd. trust me. Ken can't keep decent lines in those awd cars. People keep saying how Ken could dominate in FD that's a joke. Ken doesn't "drift" (I do consider what he does drifting but that's different then rwd drifting).
Traditionally awd isn't even drifting to lol
Is it me or power sliding doesn't look as good as drifting
fin cost both looks very good
fin cost this shit is POWERSLIDING, not DRIFTING.
This is honestly the only mustang i can say i like god its nice
The mans face at 4:34, he’s like “hell yeah”
how to powerslide. is a more appropriate name.
Isn't Ken Block just a bad rally driver?
lol *haha*
Ken is still a mad driver not half of the people commenting couldnt even come close to the skill level and driver he is but if you are going to race cars you are going to crash cars - mark webber
i build my own ken block type 65 mustang in Need For Speed 2015 and have been driving with hood cam on and its siiiiiick!!
