Ken Block Hoonitron v Audi R8 GT v RS e-tron GT: DRAG RACE

Mat's lining up in the absolutely incredible S1 Hoonitron, and he will go head-to-head versus an e-tron GT and an !

So let's see how these three unbelievable Audis accumulate. Starting with the S1 Hoonitron, it's a vehicle you would typically expect to see smashing out doughnuts rather than running in a straight line! Nevertheless, it can still pack a magnificent punch, with its 2 electric motors delivering 680hp and 640Nm of torque! What's more, despite the fact that it's packing a 50kWh battery, it's still relatively light, weighing in at 1,620 kg.

In comparison, the RS e-tron GT is packing an 84kWh battery, and it suggestions the scales at 2,345 kg! Nevertheless, similar to the Hoonitron, it also has 2 electric motors, and these combine to put down 646hpp and 830Nm.

Then finally we have the R8 GT. It comes equipped with a glorious 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can produce 620hp and 565Nm. Power is sent out to the rear wheels by means of an 8-speed gearbox, and it's the lightest automobile here, tipping the scales at 1,570 kg.

So how do you think this one will play out? Will the Hoonitron leave the other two in its wake? There's only one method to find out … LET'S RACE!

      this race was a ruse. The TT was short shifting and coming off the gas. It was rolling over the finish line on the second race. Not cool.

      @Additive Uh, NO – do NOT do this – we care about how fast the cars are NOT the reaction, this isn’t driver vs driver it’s car vs car – so this format is PERFECT for it, hell the Hoonigan boys need to learn from you guys!!

      Hoonitron S1, V12 LMR from Ai Miyashita, 767B and 787B from Shioriko Mifune and Toyota TS040 Hybrid are some of the most gorgeous looking cars ever.

      @Knut C. Tøllefsen It depends. Whenever I drive from Poland to The Netherlands, I love my friends’ 3.0 biTDI A6 (autobahn) But anywhere else, I prefer my 2021 BMW 330i.

      Audi understeers a lot, sadly.

      ​@Vadimno they arent. VAG cars dont drive well even the newer electric steering porkers arent that great to drive now go look on the porsche owners club they guys own them all so know exacly whats what. Porker guys were worried that the VAGness creeped in to far when they announced the electric steering, surely enough they’ve been proven right and its not even a debate on there now. If its not debatable on there then its certainly not on here with a bunch of folk who dont own them. Audi handling is wooden even the models they enduced the chassis oversteer in like earlier R8s and some of the newer models with the drift nonsense on them are nervous as it gets on the transition. The rest just understeer into a wall for no reason. Thats Audi in a nutshell.
