Audi x Ken Block = Electrikhana

A drift along the famous Eiffel Tower, a spectacular jump from the car park of a neighbouring hotel, or donuts on the legendary strip in front of spectating Le Mans legend Tom Kristensen: Ken Block, the Audi S1 Hoonitron, and other models from Audi Tradition’s collection of treasures made a splash during the night-time film shoot in Las Vegas. The US star in the Audi S1 e-tron Quattro Hoonitron electrified the gambler’s paradise in Nevada’s desert for several days.

Alongside the S1 Hoonitron, the Electrikhana film features brief guest appearances by other models from Audi Tradition, such as the Audi 90 IMSA GTO (1989), the Audi 200 Trans Am (1988), the Audi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak (1987), the Audi Quattro Gruppe B A2 (1984) as well as the Audi R8 LMP and Audi R18 e-tron Quattro from Le Mans. Finally, Tom Kristensen, the record winner of the iconic endurance race with nine triumphs under his belt, makes a brief guest appearance at a red traffic light as well.

The Audi S1 Hoonitron has two electric motors, all-wheel drive, power galore, a carbon fibre chassis, and fully complies with the safety standards of the FIA, motorsport’s governing body. Audi Sport developed it as a one-of-a-kind car exclusively for Ken Block. Its look immediately evokes memories of the legendary Audi Sport Quattro S1 with which the four rings charged to the top in the famous Pikes Peak hill-climb race.
