The latest all-electric, Audi powered entry into Ken Block's classic web series of videos takes on Las Vegas!
After 10 successful “Gymhkana” films that racked up a billion total views on YouTube, Ken Block is back with an all-electric Audi racecar inspired by the classic
rally car. And it is an absolutely bonkers, tire-slaying debut for the Hoonitron in one of the most exciting cities in the world:“When Audi approached us with the idea of doing a film in a special electric vehicle, that they would construct solely for the film, we jumped at the challenge,” says Block. “While I may love the sound of a turbo engine, or the grunt of a V8, we have done that all before.
The Hoonitron itself began its journey last March, when a team at Audi Sport in Germany, inspired by the legendary Audi Quattro S1 E2 Pikes Peak rally car and added e-tron technology developed for Formula E racing to create an all-wheel-drive, dual motor coupe capable of generating over 4,000 lb-ft of TQ at the wheels .
And– sure, there is very little in the way of environmental benefit from this little stunt , but these are the kind of things that make car enthusiasts look at EVs as something exciting and fun, and not as something that’s being “forced” upon them. And that, I think has value.stunt act in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
