The late Ken Block and the rest of the Hoonigan team visited Mexico City back in November 2022 to film Electrikhana Two in his Audi S1 Hoonitron. Unlike other electric vehicles, the S1 Hoonitron is equipped with ‘simulated gears’, which gives it a digital gearbox by programming multiple levels of wheel speed on the electric motors, controlled with a paddle shifter.
This digital gearbox gave Block much more controlled slides and precise donuts. In Electrickhana Two, you’ll catch glimpses of Plaza de Toros, along with several iconic areas of Mexico City, including tricks around the Museo Soumaya, a big clincher moment with a slide past JUCA, as well as around the Benito Juárez International Airport.

Additionally, Block wanted to explore all-new driving features made possible with an EV drivetrain: such as opposite-driven wheels for a standing AWD burnout, instant switching from all-wheel to rear-wheel drive, ‘differential’ tuning to influence chassis balance, as well as the ability to shift into reverse at ANY speed. Each of these features are put to the test in the new film,” said the Hoonigan team.
