Oh Ford, you’ve already done a lot for us today, introducing the bound-for-AmericaFocus RS and all. But then you go ahead and add onto this day of good news by handing a prototype of the new all-wheel-drive rocket to drift maestro Ken Block and capture it all on video.

Block does his usual, slipping and sliding and drifting the over-315-horsepower hot hatchback through Ford’s Cologne, Germany factory, before making a final and surprising appearance at the unveiling of the new RS to European media. It’s all as entertaining as it sounds, and gives us plenty of chances to hear the 2.3-liter EcoBoost at full bellow.
