With Aussie Shred, Travis Pastrana delivers a Gymkhana that honorably extends Ken Block’s legacy.
Since the late Ken Block raised Gymkhana to the status of a global phenomenon, each new episode must push the limits of the impossible. With “Gymkhana 2025: Aussie Shred,” Travis Pastrana literally ignites Australia and offers a new absolute reference in this spectacular art that combines drifting, stunts, and excess. A vibrant tribute, tailored for fans of motorsports, Subaru, and adrenaline.
Filmed Down Under, the land of the “hoon” and unrestrained mechanical culture, this installment is the most explosive ever produced by Subaru Motorsports USA and Hoonigan. On the roads of the Outback, in the heart of Sydney’s harbor, or on the legendary Mount Panorama, Pastrana drives a wild creation: the Subaru Brataroo 9500 Turbo, a radical reimagining of a 1978 Subaru BRAT transformed into a Gymkhana weapon.
A Diabolical Choreography
Equipped with 670 hp, 680 Nm, and a 2.0 turbo boxer engine capable of revving up to 9,500 rpm, the Brataroo combines rallycross technologies and active aerodynamics never before seen in the series. A concentrate of engineering designed to withstand the unthinkable. Pastrana illustrates this by flying 49 meters, leaving two wheels in the air above a pier, or “skimming” at high speed across a lake. “The Brataroo is the craziest car we have ever created,” he shares, still impacted by certain sequences.
The film also features local stars: Toby Price, Chris Atkinson, Supercars drivers battling on Conrod Straight, as well as Mighty Car Mods and the iconic Mad Hueys. A cast crafted to enhance the viral reach of the episode.
