Ken Block's STI Tank
Your favorite hoon, Mr. Gymkhana himself, gets ready for the snowy months ahead by winterizing his Subaru STI rally car with tank treads. VIDEO for proof.
It’s hard to keep a secret, and the truth is, friends really shouldn’t keep secrets, so we apologize to you, our faithful audience for not sharing this with you last winter when we first found out about this project. But KB made us take an oath. Yes, in blood. Anyway, here it is: a Subaru STI rally car lifted up onto Mattracks’ 105M1-A1 rubber track system. Yes, Ken built the world’s fastest snow cat, and we caught up with him to talk quick about his newest toy (but we suggest you skip ahead and watch the video first, the Q&A will still be here).
So you built a Subaru tank. Why?
Umm

Love it how he just blasts by the other snowmobilers; "I'm Ken Block mothafucker! I don't even need to plow my driveway!"
wacky, definitely seems slower than the rally car would be, but like he said, he only had one day in it. P.S....i want one
Awesome vid! I drive a Subie WRX myself and I love Ken Block!
Will you make me one in red with red & blue lights on top? Nice Incident Command vehicle for Oregon in the winter & I don't take passengers.
What's be funny would be if those snowmobilers had started up their sleds and blown the doors off that STi.
very nice car. I hope I don't need it in Germany.
If you were to put the trax system on any other vehicle, such as a Wrangler and supercharge the engine, the results would be even better! What is the big deal about a Subaru ??
First off, save yourself some time and just get a Jeep SRT8. Second, the big deal is that it is Ken Block, and it is a Subaru, and it was a Rally Car, and he was the first one to do it in this kind of style.

[...] 0-60 Magazine has a pretty amazing profile of snowboarder/rally driver Ken Block and his Yeti-like creation dubbed the TRAX STI. It was designed by Block to combine his two great loves: “rally driving and snowboarding powder.” It appears that he’s united them quite successfully. [...]
