Watch: Ken Block’s final Electrikhana video has been posthumously released

Stop what you’re doing and spend 10 minutes watching Block drift around Mexico City

“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,” reads the description on Hoonigan’s latest YouTube video. “Just over one month later, the devastating loss of Ken Block meant that the project was shelved - until now.”

Yep, Block’s final ever Gymkhana video has been posthumously released to the world, and oh boy are we glad that we get one more look at his genius.

Heck, the second video in the Electrikhana series kicks off with the 671bhp all-electric S1 Hoonitron spinning its axles in different directions – a feature that Ken asked the Audi Sport engineers to develop so that the car would disappear in a cloud of tyre smoke while pretty much stationary. 

And of course, tyre smoke is the order of the day in Electrikhana Two. The film kicks off with some huge four-wheel drifts in the heart of Mexico City, before ending at the airport with some ludicrously high-speed stunts. Just imagine boarding a flight and seeing this out of the plane window…

We’re told that Block’s family pushed to have the film completed and released in his memory, and we might now just spend all day watching every single Gymkhana, Climbkhana and Electrikhana back to back.
