Ken Block's last 2 videos - Audi S1 Hoonitron - ELECTRIKHANA 1 & 2

I guess the first was released before his death, and the second was just released. They are basically more of the same, but this time with the whine of electric motors instead of the sounds of an ICE and/or turbos. Because these had Audi behind them, they are well done. I like the inclusion of some of the old Audi race cars, although I wish they'd given chase.
Electrikhana 1 - High Stakes Playground - Las Vegas



Electrikhana 2 - One More Playground - Mexico City

Don't know anything about cinematography.

I don't work in the movie industry, but some of those shots look a little computer generated AI stuff to me.

What do I know.......

The doc of his daughter running the Pigasus up Pikes on a "demo" run this year is really sweet.

Saw the link/vid to the last run on Fark -

was gonna post it, nice to see someone else did.

Here's teh summary from the Fark page -

Quote:
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.

Block, The Hoonigans, and Audi continue pushing the limits of what's possible in the performance EV world with Electrikhana TWO, sliding through iconic areas of Mexico City in Block's infamously aggressive, rally-inspired driving style. Improving the car immediately after the first film, Block and Audi built on important development lessons from their experience in Las Vegas.

A BIG thank you goes out to the partners who helped make Electrikhana TWO possible:

Seeing the hoonipigisus at Luft this past spring was a highlight of that road trip for me. The engineering in those cars is next level.

Meeting Ken’s former partner and checking out his safari 944 was cool too.

I was super bummed that they had issues and couldn't compete with it when they had planned. I'm glad that it's still going.
