It's finally here. Almost a year after being announced, Climbkhana, Ken Block's latest, craziest video is finally ready for our consumption. In it, Block takes his 1400-hp, twin-turbo, all-wheel drive Mustang - the same one featured in Gymkhana 7 - up America's most famous and dangerous mountain road.

This video was a scary one for Block to make. First, he revealed that the Mustang was "pretty terrifying" when he first drove it on a closed course. Then we saw footage of him nearly losing it high up on the mountain. The results were clearly worth it, though - this is one of the best, most exciting, and terrifying drift videos we've ever seen.

Block's Mustang is particularly interesting, too. Dubbed Hoonicorn 2, it was given twin turbos and a methanol injection system to better cope with the thin, high-altitude air. It's hardly a Mustang at all, really - just a tube framed monster with some Mustang bodywork stuck to it. But we love it, and clearly, so does Block.

Watch for yourself as Block dominates America's gnarliest hillclimb.
