- We already know the Audi RS e-tron GT is the fastest RS badged production car on earth, but how fast is that?? Lets throw on our scumbag lab-coats (really really nice Hoonigan jackets) and run a few tests! The e-tron GT producing 637 horsepower and 612 torque INSTANTLY, so I think we should find out how it does from 0-60mph, 0-100mph-0, AND 0-33mph in REVERSE (for science). What's the fun in doing all this testing alone though? This time around I get the whole production crew involved to see how they feel about EV power. More science, more better..? Enjoy episode 2 of 6 dedicated to my Audi RS e-tron GT daily driver project!

RIP to an absolute legend that inspired everyone in the car community 🙏
I love how Neil's hands automatically go up in reaction to the acceleration! And, this guy has ridden in a ton of fast cars.
He knew he was on camera....
@@tiffnsniff and we know you’ve never even sat in a 9 or 10 second car lol.
@@OleMisss the dude was exaggerating we all see that

This one is SOO PAID by Audi. My god.
The car is not even in top 3 of fastest electric cars.
Soo cool to see Ken driving for the guys who got him into rally in the first place, we’re all so proud of you Ken, keep up your amazing work
Well Ken try to prove the fact that with an EV driver can make other people throw up they lunch for science measuring the 0-60, 0-100 and in reverse 0-60..
Please don't mention "rally" and Ken Block in the same sentence .. :D .. it's just too funny.
@@3storiesUp Why not, he's a former pro rally driver for Monster, not only a drifter 😉
@@carlchristianfosse9839 Respectfully .. he was a woeful rally driver ..
U sure ?@@3storiesUp
Just needed a dragy onboard. Loving this series 🤙
I was thinking the exact same thing
Draggy?
@@nickolasokeefe9348 a little more accurate than Neil

That car is a beauty. The stance is amazing and the paint job just sets it off
Wrap , but I feel ya something about that car is so clean looking. Personally I’d like all four wheels to be the rear wheels but I get why they mixed them up , and either way the car looks insane.
Lmfao 😅🤣😅🤣😅
Yeah, that front design made me mistake it for a hyundai ioniq :D
i just want to thank ken block and the hoonigans for years of amazing content. cool car!
We need a "This vs That" on the Hoonigan channel with all of Ken's race cars - Hoonicorn vs Hoonitruck > winner of that vs Hoonitron. You have Lia and Ken as a driver for those things - would make an awesome match up!!
Get our your mops if the hoonicorn is on the set
This vs Plaid
Find somewhere to line them all up and call it the blockade
@@Nezbit666 or Block party
i think this and scotto had made me an audi fan.... Group B for eternity
I've had that same experience with the eyes. It's crazy! It's not sparkles, but that's as close as any way of explaining it. It's just so fast!
That hoonigan jacket w the fur. Amazing
Bravo to the team that completed the into! It’s 🔥🔥🔥
All that technology, and it doesn’t have a built in 0-60 timer or anything like that?
Indeed it has, some other channels have shown it. Carwow got just under 3 s afair.
I'm excited about these videos! The sound is amazing. I mean, this *Ghost* whoooshes by like a sci-fi car from an 80's TV show....
i’ve never seen Ken have so much fun in a vehicle before😂 literally laughing every 5 seconds
That kinda looks like a Tesla smile.
So sick! Audi and Rotos! 2 of my favorite things
That goes as well as it looks...!
You're a lucky guy Ken.
Magnificent! Beast of a machine...The car is pretty rad too.
You guys are amazing! Pushing this car and testing it! We'll done
This Audi RS e-tron GT vs the Plaid needs to happen!
Sadly the plaid would destroy it
No chance against even the plaid model x. I bet his new s1 hoonetron drift ev though could give the plaid a good race. 🤔
@@danielfish101 Cars are more just 0-60 though. Because a 1000 HP car is quicker on straight line than 700 HP doesn t matter the former the better car. I would take the Audi because i think the car is well tuned car and drives better than the Plaid in term of ride quality. You can drive it on long trip or track, or in town and it will deliver.
@@jonpetter8921 The Tesla fan bois would disagree. They think all Teslas are works of art and are built to the most exacting standards known to man.
Yes they're fast, yes they have superior battery tech and have an amazing charging infrastructure. But that's it. Battery tech and charging infrastructure are irrelevant if your home charger fulfils 99% of your needs.
@@jp6975alright, i honestly think electric cars are stupid af. Cool technology but its not the way of the future at all
Really can’t wait for the next video when ken does what we all know him for and follow him because of.
Owning DC?
It’s be cool to see those times on a draggy. They use GPS accuracy
That's what Audi did when they tested. That's how they got the 0-60 3.3 seconds
@@ericholmquest2988 Audi ALWAYS understates their factory times. Every single test I've seen with a Dragy has the RS E-Tron GT doing 0-60 in 2.8-2.9 seconds
Very strange they didn't use draggy
I may be a bit older than KB and find that the typical 0-60 mph times of these e-vehicles are insanely quick. In our day, only speed bikes could accomplish those times....a 0-60 mph of less than 6 seconds was considered very fast. Just hearing these avg speed times is seriously impressive.
I swear Ken has such a good sense of style. He could make anything look good. If you can make a stock electric car look badass your doing it right
Let's face it J, Audi drafted him for reasons, he's not just an amazing driver or an automotive icon, his brand and his team are finely tuned marketing machine.
*you're
Gotta hand it to Audi.. every single RS model is just beautiful. Our shop just had a 94 Rs2 come in today with a broken crankshaft (rough day) but damn it... even the most basic Rs out there, and its still just gorgeous. Very few "average consumer" manufactures can even be mentioned in the same room as Audi for the ability to make a gorgeous car. -Audi tech at a well known Audi performance shop
Awesome testing guys !!!
So funny when Neil throws his hands in the air every time
I just love the intro! Well done!
How hard is it too watch and smile with absolutely zero noise.. Breaks my heart
toyo tire banner on top of windshield a must!
This vs Plaid. Right now.
So cool that this was filmed close to where I live.
Love the spec on this car 🔥🔥
Neil’s reactions were hilarious 😆 mind blown for sure
Way to get involved my dude, never thought it would get to this, electric race cars, but not afraid of it. Your media machine and more importantly skills, will help spread the word. All while you drive the fastest cars in the world. Killing it. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘
him not adapting to electric and continued to do ice vehicles i heard is why ford booted him. dont know how true that is. but ford makes a awd ev drift car mach e. and this thing comparably is boring is crap compared to the mach e drift car or even most of the ice cars out here. how is this supposed to be exciting. no sound and not fast likethe tesla plaid ev cobra jet drift mach e or lucid air. wheels on a ev with a ski box dont make it cool
@@carculturenation2166 ford already has von gitten jr, Chelsea denofa and Adam Lz, block gladly left or left amicably any way. Plus WRC didn’t have a lot of good for him, and scca has been done. Plus *whispers so ford can’t hear*, these look better then the Mach e ever will. \*whisper* Why don’t we focus on the positives, not the I didn’t get to drive it and could do better, like most the haters out there, we’re better then that.
@@carculturenation2166 you say that this is a boring and crap but remember audi gave him this car as a daily driver, its not supposed to be a rocket ship that can make smoke, thats why Audi is making the Hoonitron. The Hoonitron will be much better then the Mach e and is more important to ken then the Mach e
Will it hoon?!! Love it!
Reminds me of when Ken was at the Ford testing for the Mach e……
“Can I hoon? Can I hoon now?!!!
What a guy, Ken you’re a legend!
Dude that’s got to be. The coolest experience ever. To be apart of something like that. This has been incredible to watch the interactions between everyone involved. Oh man. That thing is fucking sick. 100-0 in less than 5 seconds? That’s insanity.
less than 5 seconds was insanity 3 decades ago in sports cars, right now family suvs like bmws and ext do under 6 seconds on their lowest specs
Love the Audi- Ken block partnership.
Sure to help Audi out and I’m an Audi fan since I’ve owned the RS3.
For science, might want to remove the pill box on the roof, I’m certain that added weight and drag to the performance
Those new rs3’s are definitely a dream car of mines , I kept having dreams about what if I won the one hoonigan was giving out lol super cool cars man
Awesome AUDI. Love the AeroDisks
Oh my god. Ken is my hero. He does both things I love, racing and snowboarding. Also he uses Burton Step On! What a great choice.
Glad you can get Toyo's . I paid for mine and waited 6 months and never shipped so canceled and went another direction.
Very cool video and specs. Looks like all the smart guys are ready for the future, like Rosberg...
Ken you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Those front wheels are fantastc Ken , reminds me of the 90's DTM cars .... a lovely take on the already lengerary old school rims ...
LOL, I got a Ford ad in the middle of this video... Love the new Audi stuff, glad to see more content with it.
That front wheel is soooo cool!
"constant flow of speed" that's a great way to explain it.
Neil is just the best guy!! Love seeing him in the videos!!!!
This thing is awesome! Love to see the Audi partnership
So much skill and precision needed to drive this thing
I am really excited to see that thing in the mountains.
Love your videos I'm a big fan of you, love rotiform wheels I have the rotiform las-r 19" with aerodisc on a 2013 ford focus st. Much love From Dallas Tx!!!
Amazing to see how fast and cool electric cars are getting even Ken Block excited, then compare those numbers to the Tesla Model S Plaid just makes it sound slow.
I went with the Plaid even though I think the RS eTron GT is my favorite looking EV - the Plaid is just so much more intense over a whole second faster 0-60 with 2.1 - 2.3 and now with the track mode from software update you can really dial in the handling dynamics of the car allowing some to put more power to the back and dial down computer correction so you can drift and smack down some donuts - I am still a huge Audi fan and keeping my 2021 TTRS for quite a while - gotta keep the sound and that light weight nimble feeling and it isn’t slow doing around 3.5/3.6 0-60
Some poor Audi engineer is furiously working on a drift mode for ken
When your Audi partnership runs out, please ask Elon to build you an unrestricted Hoonigan Plaid.
Screw that, he needs a founders spec space x package equipped teslatron special edition roadster. Imagine the press Ken would generate for tesla and evs with that? 😀
@@4literv6 It’ll bring a whole new meaning to “drifting out to space!”
The 'Fore' to 'Quattro' joke was gold.
I saw one of these last week and it was white here in UK. Great looking car with plenty of road presence 💪💪👍👍👌👌
It's 2022 and we're using a stopwatch? Come on! I'm sure its in the budget for a draggy?
Very good looking car and looks like it performs amazing as well!
Lmfao 🤣😅🤣😅
Love the retro electro (Berlin'ish underground techno) intro. Hey Ken, who's your DJ? - Insane vid
My experience with digital speedometers is that they tend to lag. By the time it shows 60 MPH you are actually going faster. It could be (should be) that Audi took the violent acceleration into account when designing the electronics, and used a high sample rate. The bottom line is that a stop watch, combined with the vehicle's speedometer, are poor tools to measure acceleration with such a powerful vehicle.
That’s a great point. It’s interesting because a lot of the time Audi undersell their car’s 0-60 time for no apparent reason. Consistently like .3 quicker than advertised when actually tested. Would’ve loved to see proper telemetry on this!
The display lags on purpose to make it easier to read the speed.
@@3V4NG3L10NN it doesn't matter if it's easier if it's wrong.
Dope intro for this video
i love it when neils arms go like "wheee"
Now all we need is to see Ken's electric hooning machine!
Wow insane numbers
5:07 Doug Demuro. I’m dying 😂
Love these guys
Bloody electrifying ⚡️
9:08 that laugh tho 😂
This car, aside from being fast af, is stunning!!
I agree it's sweet lookin
It would be really interesting and cool to see this vehicle modified into the E-Tron Trax edition with a lift kit and suspension for snow trailing, Ken! Take the parts from your RaptorTrax and fit them to the E-Tron. 🤔😃👍
Какая красотка Ауди!!! Кен, как всегда, все на высшем уровне! Спасибо за твое рвение, стремление, которое вдохновляет нас.
Get this guy in a plaid with track mode on ! That's a vid I'd like to see
YO! right next to my town! how did I miss this
Ken block qué placer mirar todos tus videos un gran abrazo desde Montevideo Uruguay 💝💖
SCIENCE!! His reactions from the acceleration are by far the best. 😂

Good job!.
"Roof Pod", can't stop thinking fanny pack. LOL
What a fun video.
All of that with the ski carrier on top
What are those vacuum mounts for the roof box. Looks great.
I really wish Rotiform made those Aerodisc rim attachments for 17 inch rims. Those things are sick.
Hopefully Neil's breakfast stayed where it's supposed to be 😂 but do y'all know that roof box set up?
I miss this man something fierce. I don't get emotional about people I haven't personally met often, But Ken is special, He reached out and touched all of us in some way or another with his content and care. I love that he was so involved with family, friends and fans alike. I hope I meet him one day and get to say hello when its my day to be called home. Rest In heavenly peace Ken Block, You are loved and missed so much.
The performance seems to be fitting of the driver for sure.
The roof box that looks like its from Sears in 1993 tho.....😁🤣
I like Neil. He's funny. 😂
Cool location! Salad bowl 831! My old home town
That's a good looking porsche !
E-tron VS Plaid is a must.
I live a 20 minute drive from that location. So cool haha
“I’m a bad scientist” same fam, sometimes I just keep accelerating after a race cause I can lmao
Now that’s a good looking EV
5:00 "this edible ain't shit" 5:01 "woah"
For science! 🙌🏼
Ken just droppin’ his drip
I can't wait to see Ken hoon this beast!!
Can we see this on “this vs that” against the Tesla plaid
Plaid absolutely obliterated the Porsche Taycan Tubo S on DragTimes channel. It made Taycan look slow. Audi RS eTron is same as Taycan.
@Nomen Clature The Dork Mobile
Velg belakangnya asik Pak! #thumbsup
great video, sweet carr
No this car is really bad....
You need to do a video we’re this E-torn goes against the Plaid.
You should race it on the hoonigan channel for plaid vs that
