The 1400bhp Audi S1 e-tron quattro ‘Hoonitron’ channels the iconic Quattro S1 Pikes Peak, and it's made its debut in the ‘Electrikhana’ film -
S1 ‘Hoonitron’ for the latest instalment of Gymkhana . The new film sees Block destroy plenty of tyres in his typical fashion, with icons from Audi’s illustrious motorsport past making appearances throughout.
Though designed to tackle the Pikes Peak hillclimb – hence its compliance to FIA safety guidelines – the Hoonitron was also built with this Electrikhana film in mind. Peak output sits at 1400bhp from its two electric motors, mounted front and rear, driving 2231lb ft of torque to each axle. Bespoke components were fabricated by Audi Sport for elements such as the motor mounting hardware, control arms and tie rods. The marque also created bespoke head and tail lights for the prototype, the former costing over $300,000 a piece. It’s estimated that the car cost in excess of $12m to develop in total.
