Ken Block premieres the Audi S1 e-tron quattro Hoonitron in new video

Audi has premiered a new video titled Elektrikhana, staring Ken Block and the new Audi S1 e-tron quattro Hoonitron.

The new car, with its angular and identifiable three-box design, instantly brings back memories of the legendary Audi Sport quattro S1 with which the four rings used to charge to the summit in the famous Pikes Peak Hill Climb event.

This all-electric one-of-a-kind car will be the protagonist in a new video that Block is producing together with his team for release in the next few months.

No drivetrain specifics have been revealed for the car as yet, however, Audi does state that the vehicle is powered by two electric motors which drive all four wheels and utilises a carbon fibre chassis.

The S1 Hoonitron was conducted by Audi Sport at the Neckarsulm location where the Audi RS e-tron GT is produced. Audi Design in Ingolstadt was responsible for the styling, which has been anything but a run-of-the-mill job for Marc Lichte and his team.

Fans will soon be able to see Ken Block’s success with the project for themselves: Under the working title Elektrikhana, Ken Block and his team are going to produce the next video of his famous Gymkhana series featuring the S1 Hoonitron.

"The collaboration with Audi is a very special partnership for me. The brand and its passion for motorsport motivated me to get into rallying," says Ken Block. "That Audi has now developed this car for me and my team, and has joined us in our next project, has made a dream come true for me. The Hoonitron is writing the next chapter in our history and taking our Gymkhana story into the future."
