Audi: Ken Block in landscape format 🎥
DRIFT ARTIST The American drift specialist Ken Block is thrilled with the Audi RS Q e-tron in which Mattias Ekström contested the Dakar Rally in January. But he's also taken a shine to other models from Ingolstadt.
With Mattias Ekström as instructor in the co-driver's seat, Ken Block tested the Audi RS Q e-tron on snow.
This was a cockpit swap of a very special kind: With Mattias Ekström as instructor in the co-driver's seat, Ken Block tested the Audi RS Q e-tron on snow and ice. The stint during the GP Ice Race in Zell am See was the spectacular prototype's first appearance after its debut in the Dakar Rally.
However, the RS Q e-tron, with which Audi had clinched four stage victories in January, was only one of the stars on the ice course in Zell. Audi had also brought along the Audi quattro Rally A2 Group B, which competed in the Rally Finland in 1983. In addition, a DKW F 91 and a DKW Hartmann Formula V caused a stir.
Drift around the course with the Audi quattro A2
For the American Gymkhana star, the trip to Europe was like a visit to automotive paradise.
Ken Block: "The laps in the Audi RS Q e-tron were a phenomenal experience - even though the car probably feels more comfortable in the desert than in the snow."
His instructor was also impressed.
Mattias Ekström: "It took just three turns, then Ken was fully with the music."
In addition to driving the RS Q e-tron, Block also took a little trip down memory lane and drifted around the circuit in the Audi quattro A2. For the US American, this was a highlight.
Ken Block: "An insane moment that I won't soon forget."
And it continues, with the all-electric Audi S1 e-tron quattro Hoonitron, which Audi developed as a one-off exclusively for Ken Block, the Hoonigan team is producing a spectacular video called Electrikhana, which will be released in the coming months.
