Hoonigan Teases Its All-Electrical Electrikhana Movie Alongside With Its Hoonitron Deep Dive

If you happen to’re into vehicles, you most likely like Ken Block’s Gymkhana movies, the place he takes some totally bananas vehicle and skids it by a bunch of bizarre obstacles in clouds of tire smoke and glory with its vastly overpowered engine howling. However, like, what if there was no engine?

Yep, that’s proper. Ol’ DC Shoe Co. himself determined it was time to bail on blowers, minimize out combustion, trash turbos and shift away from transmissions for his subsequent video and go electrical. To that finish, the subsequent Ken Block video will probably be known as Electrikhana, and it’s set to premiere on the Hoonigan YouTube channel on October 25 at 6 a.m. Pacific, however we’ve obtained a bit of teaser so that you can tide you over till then.

Now, whereas no insane Roush-Yates NASCAR V8 is powering this ‘khana, the automobile isn’t any much less cool. It’s known as the S1 Hoonitron, and never solely does it look an terrible lot just like the well-known Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 Pikes Peak racer of the Nineteen Eighties (which we will all agree is an effective factor, I believe), but it surely has a 1,400-hp 800-volt electrical drivetrain.

In order for you all the small print on this multi-million greenback, completely bespoke, doesn’t share a platform with something, System E-powered not-a-racecar, this Hoonigan almost-40-minute lengthy explainer video breaks it down in loopy element.

This seems prefer it could possibly be the wildest video that Ken Block and the Hoonigans have ever carried out, and we’re tremendous stoked to waste an entire morning watching and re-watching it subsequent week.
