When Ken Block’s Hoonigan crew dropped Electrikhana One final October, everybody thought it will be the final sensational, smoky outing we might get from the person who’d turned drifting into an cheer-worthy city pentathlon. Think about our shock having encounter the trailer for Electrikhana Two, to be launched this December. Appears all of the Hoonigans made a visit to Mexico Metropolis, Mexico earlier than Ken’s snowmobiling accident, checking within the dual-motor, battery-electric Audi S1 Hoonitron as outsized baggage. The trailer opens within the Plaza de Toros Mexico, a bullfighting ring and boxing venue holding greater than 41,000 individuals, the place the S1 waits within the grime like an adversary simply as averse as any bull or heavyweight to being trifled with.
Beneath that carbon fiber bodywork, 4 production-ready 17.3-kWh lithium-ion batteries energy two of Audi’s System E-spec motors making a mixed 2,212 pound-feet of torque. The equal of throwing tires in an incinerator, Block mentioned 100 tires died to make the Vegas blitz, 2.5 occasions the standard shred price when Block drive’s one thing just like the Hoonicorn with its 1,400 horsepower and 1,250 pound-feet.
When the motion begins, exiting the stadium leads into some best hits clips from previous outings after which into essentially the most cinematic opening we have seen from the Gymhkana collection. It had us ready for a Vin Diesel voiceover or Godzilla.
From there, a tasting menu of the standard hijinks, the Audi S1 Hoonitron’s tires screaming simply as loudly because the automotive’s twin motors throughout backwards jumps and breaking the pace restrict in reverse. There are journeys to the Mexico Metropolis ring street, the airport, an underground parking storage, an workplace constructing campus, a tunnel, a whopping roundabout, and who is aware of what else. And towards the top, a snippet of one thing we’re not used to seeing: Ken wanting like he is bracing for affect.
Even when he would not truly hit something within the video, we’re certain legions of followers are going to really feel this one.
