The video concludes with a montage of moments from other Gymkhana videos and a tribute to Ken Block, a driver who was pretty universally recognized as one of the most skilled and daring people to ever get behind the wheel (and handbrake).
According to Audi, the video was filmed in November of last year, and Block’s family was adamant about getting the video produced. The automaker also notes that the S1 Hoonitron featured in the Mexico City video was actually modified and refined ever so slightly after debuting in Las Vegas. Such modifications not only made it more maneuverable to Block’s liking but also gave it the ability to have its electric drive units go in forwards and backward at the same time, “causing the Audi S1 Hoonitron to disappear into a large white cloud when stationary,” per an Audi press release.
