Ken Block has returned with a second Gymkhana film featuring a new car, next level creative direction, cameos from Rob Dyrdek and Jason Ellis, and enough product placement to make infomercial stars, Sham Wow Vince and Billy Mays proud.

During last week's press event/world premiere, Ken showed off his skills behind the wheel of an all-new Subaru STi that, in his words, "drives like the world's most suped up golf cart."

Also suped up is DC's new line of rallywear dubbed the TeamWorks Collection. The line, inspired by Ken's new Gymkhana TWO car, includes two pairs of shoes, a reversible windbreaker, T-shirt, sweatshirt and hat. With a goal of featuring the TeamWorks Collection, Ken, in his opening speech at the premiere, admitted the purpose of the film: simply put it's "the world's best infomercial."

If that's the case, the pitch is a good one. The film is a choreographed display of tight-turn maneuvering inherent in Gymkhana, but Ken and the DC crew take it a step further. Incorporating high level production and a splash of entertaining explosions, the seven minute short film takes us on a ride through the Port of Los Angeles Pier like a Hollywood car chase, but instead of outrunning the bad guys, Ken artfully runs over rows of fluorescent lights mid turn, knocks paint balloons out of the hand of a willing Jason Ellis, and escapes a Fantasy Factory-worthy paint ball barrage by the likes of Rob D.
Gymkhana TWO is a sensory feast that every driver can relate to, culminating with Mr. Block, ahem, driving away from an explosion (you'll have to watch). Big, beautiful and badass, this flick brings out the go-kart racer in all of us.

With that, check out the pics from the premiere, BNQT.com's exclusive interview, the build of the Ken's custom Subaru STI, and, of course, Gymkhana TWO.
