After a billion total views across 10 wildly successful Gymkhana Films, setting the current bar for automotive action movies, Ken Block is back with a new partner to launch the future of Gymkhana. Driving an entirely bespoke machine developed and built by Audi, Ken Block is electrifying Gymkhana in the first ever Electrikhana! To provide the perfect setting for the 800 volt, bi-motor, AWD Audi S1 Hoonitron’s tire-slaying debut, Hoonigan Media Machine shut down one of the busiest cities in the world: LAS VEGAS.

We are back in Europe to do one of my favorite things ever… drive legendary Audi race cars! But this time we’re driving on ice to prepare for the upcoming GP Ice Race. We met up with our friend @jpperformance in Munich, Germany and cruised an Audi e-tron GT all the way down to to the Zell am See airport in Austria. Why? Because they have a wonderful frozen lake AND I get to test drive a freshly restored Historic Audi Quattro A2 Group B Rally car. The excitement is real!

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!

Today I’m aiming to break the WORLD RECORD lap-time for an all-electric production car with a snowboard roof pod around Laguna Seca, haha! All jokes aside, I’m taking my brand new Audi RS e-tron GT (that I daily drive) for some lap-time testing. For science…? Yeah, for science. It’s amazing how capable this car is straight off the production line, so let’s put it to the test at one of the most prestigious race tracks in the world. More reasons to drive this car, more better. Enjoy episode 4 of 6 dedicated to my Audi RS e-tron GT daily driver project!

I can’t have a 637hp all-electric Audi RS e-tron GT for a daily driver and NOT find out if it can slide, right?? Let’s find out if the brand new e-tron GT can handle some of the things that I love to do most in cars: donuts, figure 8s and BIG slides! It wears the RS badge for a reason, so it’s safe to say I had a solid day of tire slaying. EV power is no joke, the e-tron is not nice to tires which is just another reason why I love it.

We are back at the Zell am See frozen lake in Austria for another rad day of driving race cars. I get the pleasure of shredding the Dakar Stage Winning Audi RS Q e-tron race car, on ice… I love my job! Mattias Ekström, the driver who piloted Audi race car to the Dakar Stage win, is riding shotgun with me for a quick crash course on getting up to speed in a very new and very complex electric race car.

Introducing the HOONIPIGASUS! I teamed up with Mobil 1 Racing and BBi Autosport to build this absolutely INSANE 1400hp 4.0L twin turbo flat-six engine all-wheel drive 6-speed Sadev sequential transmission having Vintage 911 racecar! Oh wait, I forgot to mention the GPS activated height adjustable suspension, yeah it has that too. Throw a livery from the GucciGhost (@TheGucciGhost) himself and we’ve got ourselves a bad ass racecar. I’m ridiculously excited to rip this thing at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb this year. Here is everything that went into making this dream a reality! Go pig or go home!

​@RamTrucks gave me a new and unreleased version of their 2022 TRX: the Sandblast Edition! It’s like a supercar built for dirt, so let’s just call it a supertruck. Ridiculously comfortable luxury interior stacked with a 702 horsepower 6.2L supercharged Hemi engine, what more could you ask for? Maybe some suspension travel and frosty air conditioning? It has both of those things and plenty more. Naturally I wanted to test the limits of this new unreleased TRX so I decided to take it to Johnson Valley where they hold the annual King of the Hammers race to put it through the paces. And by paces I mean whoops, donuts, jumps, dune slides and a little Gymkhana too.

After debuting my Audi Sport Quattro replica “Turbo Monster” last year in Hoonigan’s RING LEADERS (https://youtu.be/Gufm5H4hZi0) and at SEMA in Toyo Tires booth, we had a long year of fine tuning some details in the car: from a custom exhaust from Borla for the 730+ horsepower inline-5 turbo engine, to fine tuning hand-brake location, and even registering the car complete with the custom CARCAIN(E) license plate. NOW we‘re finally able to give the Sport Quattro its first proper test at Willow Springs Raceway in Southern California. Full throttle pulls, i5 turbo exhaust sound music-to-ear science (thanks again Borla), handbrake slides, figure 8's, donuts, tire smoke (and a wheel lockup issue); the stress gets put on. After all, the goal here is to have a reliable (and hoon-capable; because when’s the last time I didn’t Hoon Test anything I drive regularly??) daily driver. Enjoy!!
