Audi S1 e-tron quattro Hoonitron

Designed and developed for motorsport legend Ken Block, who tragically passed away earlier this year, the Audi S1 e-tron quattro Hoonitron is a one-of-a-kind, all-electric racer. Inspired by the legendary Audi Sport quattro S1 from the nineteen-eighties, the modern-day interpretation was developed at Audi Sport’s headquarters in Neckarsulm and created by Head of Design Marc Lichte and his team. Under the skin, the S1 e-tron quattro Hoonitron is based around a carbon fibre chassis and powered by two motor-generator units – one on each axle. As the electric motors reach maximum speeds of 28,000rpm, the engineering team defined a gear ratio of about 12:1 to enable high-speed drifts. Taking losses into account, this results in around 3,000 Nm of torque on each axle, or 6,000 Nm in total.
