The man himself: Mr. Ken Block.
After firing his co-driver ...
... Block tears off into the desert ...
... kicking up sand in some epic power slides ...
... and then racing toward downtown Dubai. Modern rally cars, like Block's Ford Fiesta-based monster, can accelerate to 60 MPH in under 2 seconds ...
... Block goes for a quick spin in a donut box made of Dubai's legendary fleet of police supercars.
And now it's time for: Ford Performance Division PRODUCT PLACEMENT! That's a Ford Raptor pickup balancing on two wheels ...
... which Block goes for another spin around
... next is a drag race with (left to right) a Lexus LFA, Lamborghini Aventador, Bugatti Veyron, and Ferrari F12.
Proving once again that purpose-built race cars are incredible things, block leaves even the Bugatti in the dust.
Now some assorted spinning ...
More assorted spinning ...
... a quick FORD PRODUCT PLACEMENT ...
That's the Ford GT supercar, due out this year.
... various airborne activities ...
... another tear through downtown ...
... and some final donuts around a moving 747.
Ken Block must like his job.
He celebrates a successful run with a backflip off of a helicopter.
And after the closing credits, Ford reveals the Focus RS rallycross. which hopefully will be put to good use in Gymkhana 9.
But for now, watch the video and see Block do his thing.
