If you like cars, you might like Ken Block’s Gymkhana videos, where he takes a car made entirely of bananas and glides it through a series of eerie obstacles in clouds of tire smoke and glory with the howl of an intense engine. But, like, what if there was no motive?
Right. Ol’ DC Shoe Co. He himself decided it was time to bail out the blower, cut out the combustion, turbo the trash, and switch to a gearbox for his next video, and go electric. So Ken Block’s next video will be called Electrikhana and is set to premiere on Hoonigan’s YouTube channel on October 25 at 6 a.m. PT, but we do have a small trailer for you guys to enjoy. you watch until then.
Now, while not losing my mind Roush-Yates NASCAR V8 supporting this ‘khana, the car is no less cool. It’s called the S1 Hoonitron, and not only does it look a lot like the famous 1980s Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 Pikes Peak race car (I think we can all agree that’s a good thing), but it also has a 1,400-hp 800-volt electric drivetrain.
If you want to know all the details about this multi-million dollar car, completely bespoke, sharing no platform with anything, a racing car that doesn’t have to run on Formula E, then the video This Hoonigan’s nearly 40-minute long explanation breaks it down in insane detail.
This looks like it might be the most extravagant video Ken Block and the Hoonigans have ever made, and we’d love to waste the morning watching over and over again next week.
