GYMKHANA 8 HAS SAID TO BE ON THE WAY COMING LATE 2015 OR EARLY 2016.
Ken Block has confirmed the eighth instalment of his stupendously excellent
Gymkhanaseries will land either late this year or in early 2016.
Speaking at the Goodwood Festival of Speed - where he was showcasing the
845bhp ‘Hoonicorn’ Mustang seen in Gymkhana 7 - TG’s good friend confirmed that though he couldn’t yet reveal the juicy details, Gymkhana 8 is in the works.
Block suggested Gym 8 won’t star the modified Mustang, either, but rather something smaller. And Ford shaped. “I really enjoy promoting the smaller car packages, so I don’t think we’ll be using the Mustang again,” he told us.
There is, he stated, a very small possibility the new film could use the
brand new, 345bhp Ford Focus RS. Block, of course, had a hand in developing the new Ford hot hatch, and is a big fan.
“A Focus RS? It’s possible, but it all depends on timing, of course,” he said. “Whether it makes the cut for the next film or not though, the new RS will definitely play a role in future Gymkhana films.
“I’m sure at some point I will be converting to the RS. The RS is something that’s dear to my heart, that I’ve been involved with, and I want to do Gymkhana with. But again, it’s all about timing.
