One last time

The death of drifting legend Ken Block shook the entire motorsport world at the beginning of 2023. The previously unreleased last episode of his famous drift videos is a tribute to the American.

‘Electrikhana 2’ was filmed with the Audi S1 Hoonitron in November 2022, 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 American’s family to complete and release the film in his memory.

Block’s fans can experience their idol one last time with breathtaking driving scenes and stunts using the Audi S1 Hoonitron. The all-electric prototype was developed by Audi Sport as a one-off exclusively for Ken Block. It has two electric motors, all-wheel drive, a total output of 500 kW and a carbon fibre chassis. Following the filming of the first Electrikhana episode in August 2022, the S1 Hoonitron was further developed in close collaboration with Block and Audi. This included reducing weight, improving drivability and simulating gear changes.

In the first episode, Ken Block drifted through Las Vegas with the Audi. The spectacular video reached more than 100 million people worldwide. Electrikhana 2 was filmed in Mexico City. With 22 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area, the capital of Mexico is one of the largest cities in the world and offered the crew of the Hoonigan company, founded by Block, fascinating locations – from the modern airport to a spiral-shaped 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 movie, the front and rear axles pull in opposite directions, causing the car to disappear into a large white cloud when stationary, a scene entirely to the taste of the unforgotten drift artist and his loyal fan base.
