Travis Pastrana Goes Max Attack in the Land Down Under in Gymkhana 2025: Aussie Shred

Travis Pastrana drives the 670-horsepower Subaru Brataroo in Gymkhana's first Australian film in nearly 10 years, showcasing advanced active aerodynamics and extreme stunts.

  • On Dec. 9, 2025, Subaru Motorsports USA and Hoonigan premiered the Gymkhana film 'Aussie Shred,' debuting the 670-horsepower Subaru Brataroo 9500 Turbo starring Travis Pastrana.
  • Brian Scotto said Australia had been a top Gymkhana target for nearly a decade, with earlier refusals due to anti-hoon laws but a later re-approach met 'with open arms'; Scotto added Pastrana's final film raised pressure to push limits.
  • The Brataroo's drivetrain delivers 680 lb-ft of torque and revs beyond more than 9,500 RPM, transforming a 1978 Subaru BRAT into the Brataroo 9500 Turbo by Vermont SportsCar.
  • The release ends a multi-year Gymkhana drought, featuring cameos from Toby Price, Chris "Atko" Atkinson, and V8 Supercars drivers, with Hoonigan's YouTube reach boosting its digital impact.
  • With Pastrana reportedly making his final Gymkhana film, he said `The Brataroo is hands down the craziest Gymkhana car we've ever built`, while Subaru of America, Inc. and Vermont SportsCar say it features the series' most advanced active aerodynamics.
