Ken Block is all about insane car stunts and videos. This time he shows us highly-modified, snow-ready Subaru WRX STI dubbed the TRAX STI.

The TRAX STI is an experimental automobile that starts with Block’s Subaru WRX STI. Tires are ditched and replaced with snow cat tracks together with next-level suspension to create the ultimate backcountry shred car.

Prepared by Vermont SportsCar, performance modifications include 400-hp and features Group N competition rally dampers made by EXE-TC and a KAPS 5-speed close-ratio dog-engagement gearbox. Under the hood sits a 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled STI engine tuned with a MOTEC M800 ECU.

TRAX STI even has a sleigh behind it, designed to hold four snowboarders, their snowboards, and all their gear. The sleigh’s body is 100 percent custom designed and constructed of hand-laid fiberglass-though the sleigh is not seen in this teaser video, look for it in future videos next year. Altogether, this is one car ready for backcountry access and snowboarding.
