Ken Block Puts Tank Tracks on Subaru Rally Car, We Want

November 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

Apparently bored stiff with Gymkhana mayhem (if that’s possible), Ken Block has moved on to bigger things… literally. Determined to hoon his Subie no matter what the conditions, Block has slapped a set of friggin’ tank tracks — yes, you read that right — onto an STI rally car for a bit of mountaineering. Our friends at 0-60 Magazine recently interviewed KB about his newest creation and we think this excerpt sums it up pretty well:

“0-60: So are there plans to jump this thing?

Block: You, know, I’ve put a lot of thought into this, and weighed the limitations that the Mattracks system presents and it really just boils down to…Yes!. It’s a rally car, it has to jump.”

All we have to say is rally on, brave pioneers. Rally on.
