Pikes Peak Hill Climb event is known as the “Race To The Clouds” and this event will see an Audi S1 e-tron quattro Hoonitron that has been given an exclusive makeover American drift artist Ken Block. This Audi is an all-electric one-of-a-kind car that will star alongside Block in a new film..

“The S1 Hoonitron combines a lot of what Audi was already famous for in the nineteen-eighties,” says Ken Block, whose enthusiasm for Audi’s rally cars was sparked at an early age. “For instance, the car’s spectacular aerodynamics have now been translated into a totally modern form. I think it’s cool that the Audi designers have been inspired by their own past and uniquely transferred the car’s technologies and appearance into the present.”

S1 Hoonitron has Two electric motors, all-wheel drive, loads of power, a carbon fiber chassis, and the full safety standards as prescribed by motorsport’s top governing body, the FIA.

Block said: “Audi gave me the opportunity to test it for a few days in Germany,” says Ken Block. “I’m familiar with a wide variety of cars using internal combustion engines and transmissions, but there were a lot of new things for me to learn here. Spinning into a donut at 150 km/h directly from standstill – just using my right foot – is an all-new experience for me. Our work was focused on getting the car and I used to each other. My thanks go to the whole Audi Sport squad for their outstanding teamwork.”

S1 Hoonitron development was conducted by Audi Sport at the Neckarsulm location.

The film’s working title is Elektrikhana, with Ken Block and his team videoing the famous Gymkhana series featuring the S1 Hoonitron.
