Back when you saw Ken Block visit Audi headquarters in Ingolstadt to kick off their all- new partnership, what we couldn’t show you were the very first sketches for this: the Audi S1 Hoonitron. AKA a car built in the legendary halls of Audi Sport, for the sole purpose of being the world’s first all-electric Gymkhana car. From mind boggling wheel speeds to Group B inspired bodywork, the Hoonitron is unlike anything we’ve ever been around - so we dive into all of its wild and tech-heavy details.

I finally get to put my new all-electric Audi e-tron SUV to the test at Swing Arm City! Swing Arm city is one of my favorite spots to hit, some of you may remember it from my off-road Gymkhana film dubbed Terrakhana. It will be interesting to see how the e-tron handles the wild incline of Knife’s Edge amongst other awesome features this place has to offer. Is 400ft lbs enough to party in an all-electric SUV? Hit play and find out, enjoy!

My Electric Car Fleet is growing! I needed something for all the awesome driving you can do around Utah, and with 490 foot-pounds of torque the e-tron SUV can get down. Snow slaying? No problem. Huck it in some dirt? Yep, it can do that too. Cruise downtown Park City to see some legendary artwork from Banksy? Most definitely. I’ve put my own personal touch on the car of course with some high performance wheels and tires, but it was my wife’s idea to put on the charcuterie board under the spare. No, really!

On part two of our trip to Audi HQ in Ingolstadt, Germany, we stop by Audi Tradition, the brand's secret storage facility where they let me drive not one but TWO of the most iconic rally cars of all time. Walter Röhrl’s Monte Carlo winning Group B Sport Quattro S1 E2, and the top secret Group S prototype car (that only 5 people had driven previous to me). Childhood dream type stuff!!

On part three of our trip to Audi HQ in Ingolstadt, Germany, I get to try my hand at two more insane Audi race cars. First up, we pull Hans Stuck's championship winning DTM car from the stable at Audi Tradition and let its 11,5000 rpm v8 scream. Then We head back to Audi's test track in Neuburg to drive the e-tron Vision GT, a car first built digitally for the game Grand Tourismo and then created in real life by the engineers at Audi.

I am excited to announce that I have teamed up with Audi on an electrifying new partnership, which will include expanding the Gymkhana franchise to include a new installment starring a very top secret Audi e-tron. The film, dubbed Electrikhana, is scheduled to release in 2022. This union will also see me exploring Audi’s cutting-edge racing and EV technologies, plus serve as a catalyst to push the limits of what’s possible in an electric vehicle. This partnership is literally a dream decades in the making. Audi’s efforts in the WRC, specifically with their Group B cars, along with their wins at Pikes Peak in the 1980’s is what led me down the path to become a rally driver. Their Quattro system pioneered the AWD car revolution and forever changed the sport of rally, and now I’m getting a chance to be a part of their next leap in motorsports with electric performance. It’s quite an honor, and humbling, to now consider myself a part of a team that I have highly respected for so long. And I can’t wait to share more details on the vehicle Audi is building for Electrikhana, it’s going to be insane. To lead off the new relationship, I recently traveled to Audi’s home in Ingolstadt, Germany to emerge in all things Four Rings. This trip is documented in a three-part series, the first episode of explores the influence, heritage, and the future of the automobile manufacturer in racing. I got to sample an arsenal from Audi’s current line up including the new ridiculous fast, Audi RS e-tron GT as well as the Audi e-tron Vision GT concept car. But while the partnership looks to the future of performance, I wasn’t going to miss out on an opportunity to drive some iconic machines from the past, including Hans Stuck’s championship winning DTM Audi V8 and Walter Röhrl’s legendary Group B Audi Quattro S1 E2. In addition, I got an intimate look at Audi’s all new Dakar-racecar, the RS Q e-tron racer that will be reimagining the way people view electrification in long distance, endurance racing. All of which can be seen in the coming episodes. And to answer the question on everyone’s minds: why the switch to electrified vehicles? For me, it’s simple really: It’s new. It’s high level performance. It’s the future. And new technology and forward thinking - the things Audi is great at - can be used to have even more fun with cars, and I am all about that. #electrichoonageiscoming https://www.progress.audi/progress/en/ken-block-electric-mobility-is-the-future.html #BlockGoesEtron #BLOCKxAUDI #AudiPartner Rad gear that The Hoonigans make for me: https://www.hoonigan.com/collections/ken-block Check out my Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/kblock43 Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/kblock43 ]]> Wed 04 Jan 2023 21:03:08 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/22582/ken-block-joins-audi-and-gets-the-ultimate-welcoming/
