Watch a video showing X-Games master and rally driver Ken Block testing his new turbocharged Ford Fiesta in preparation for the Sno*Drift Rally.
Pinned in 6th gear, Block goes ripping down the ice roads in Gladwin, Michigan in preparation for the first race of the year in the Rally America series.
Block's 2.0-litre turbocharged Fiesta, modified to the Open Class specification for Rally America, is capable of producing over 490 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, but due to a required turbo-inlet restrictor by the series, the Fiesta will be running in the range of 330 horsepower.
Block, who will be co-driven by Italian Alessandro Gelsomino, will tackle all six rounds of the Rally America series in his Fiesta.
His North American program will culminate at X Games 16 in Los Angeles in early August.
