Ken Block’s final Gymkhana video has been released

Stop whatever you’re doing, get the tissues out, and watch 10 minutes of Ken Block drifting through Mexico City in the 671 horsepower all-electric S1 Hoonitron. The description of the Youtube video reads, “In November of 2022, Ken Block and the Hoonigan team headed to Mexico City, MX to film the next installment of the Electrikhana series with the Audi S1 Hoonitron. Just over one month later, the devastating loss of Ken Block meant that the project was shelved - until now.” 

In the video, Ken Block is seen super excited to have fun round Mexico City in the Audi. The S1 Hoonitron is special with simulated gears that program multiple levels of wheel speed controlled by the paddle shifter, the ability to spin axles in different directions (a feature specially requested by Ken himself) and the ability to go into reverse at any speed.

Earlier this year Audi Middle East showcased the legendary S1 e-tron Quattro Hoonitron at the

Museum of the Future for a limited time. The Electrikhana One video sees Ken drift through Las Vegas and has racked up more than 100 million views worldwide across different channels. 

For me personally, Ken Block has been the ultimate hero. Car stunts have never ever looked so simple, jaw-dropping and nerve-tingling all at the same time. Watching his gymkhana videos as a 10-year-old, Ken gave a young me the courage of dreaming of driving cars fearlessly. He provided petrolheads like me with proper adrenaline-pumping content. All this in collaboration with some of the biggest carmakers in Ford, Subaru and Audi. He lived and let us live THE DREAM. 

It’s sad that Ken has left us and his family so early at the age of 55. It is the Block family who have their consent and pushed for the final film featuring Ken to be released. Time to watch the Electrikhana Two on repeat in memory of him… *SOB*
