A moment of silence to all the GoPros and tires that were lost during the production of this film.......

That was pretty insane.
His fiesta does 0-60 in 1.8 seconds?! Just crazy...
I aways wondered if he did this as a course or different takes. Very very impressive none the less. but big respect if he did it as a single course.

He probably did it in different takes and practice runs. If you go back to where he drifted around the tram/streetcar, you'll see tire marks all over the place.
EDIT: Is he using Raceland coilovers? 4:05

It's gotta' be different takes considering some of this stuff is in the financial district and other populated areas, and there's no people around. There's no way they closed a whole series of major city arteries to shoot this lol sick video either way though, I wish I 1 had his skills 2 had his car

did you see how many sets of tire marks there are before the car gets to each obstacle?
they had to come from somewhere. Just sayin'

So reading up on the car he's driving in the vid has me asking some questions. How in blue bloody hell did he get a 2.0 L engine to put out 600 hp, how much did it cost, and is this car still FWD (by the tire burning I'm guessing AWD)?
Wow. Simply amazing. He always impresses.

they did something like this a few years ago, where the winners got to sit in passenger while he drifts a course, there is also an episode of him take the top gear guys out for a spin

Not that uncommon for boosted 2.0L engines to make that kind of power or even more (read: Eagle talon w/4G63 motor, Mitsubishi evo w/4G63 or 4B11T motor, Subaru wrx w/EJ20 motor, Honda S2000 w/F20C motor, Nissan 240sx w/SR20DET motor, Nissan skyline R32 w/RB20DET motor, etc.) that's all I can think of off the top of my head lol.
I believe you are correct about it being AWD.
There's a guy here in Thunder Bay with an 815whp Honda S2000. It's pretty nuts...

Turbo era F1 cars had 1.5L engines that in qually trim would have 1200 hp and believe that Block's Fiesta has a custom Sadev awd system.
Wish I started a skater gear company..........600+ hp AWD Speed3.

Crazy driving...
When the Styx tune played and it showed the seagulls, the first thing that came to my mind was a scene where they were doing a fly-by and trying to poop on his car...lol
