Audi: These are Ken Block's last drifts 🎥
ELECTRIKHANA 2 The death of drifting legend Ken Block shook the motorsport world at the beginning of January. The previously unreleased last episode of his drift videos is a tribute to the US American.
Electrikhana 2 was filmed in November 2022 with the Audi S1 Hoonitron - just a few weeks before the snowmobile accident in which Ken Block died at the age of 55. It was a matter close to the heart of the drift artist's family to complete and release the film. Now fans can experience their idol one last time in breathtaking driving scenes and stunts with the S1 Hoonitron.
Total output of 500 kW
The all-electric prototype was developed by Audi Sport as a one-off exclusively for Block. It has two electric motors, all-wheel drive, a total output of 500 kW, a carbon fiber chassis and the full safety standard of the highest motorsport authority, the FIA. Following the filming of the first Electrikhana episode in August 2022, the vehicle was further developed in collaboration with Ken Block. This included a weight reduction and a simulation of gear changes.
A cloud of smoke to say goodbye
In the first episode, Ken drifted through Las Vegas in the S1 Hoonitron. The spectacular video reached more than 100 million people worldwide via various channels. Electrikhana 2 is set in Mexico City. The Mexican capital provided the crew of the Hoonigan company founded by Ken with fascinating locations - from the airport to a spiral parking garage. Together with the engineers from Audi Sport, Block came up with a very special gimmick for Electrikhana 2 that only an electric vehicle can offer. In one scene of the film, the front and rear axles pull in opposite directions, causing the Audi S1 to disappear into a large white cloud when stationary.
