Ken Block’s Audi fleet continues to grow.
With his Audi RS e-tron GT, Ken Block has already made quite the stir, showing the electric luxury car’s potential for performance, drifting, snow dominance, and the ultimate cool factor. But being a rally driver, we know Ken Block likes to travel off the beaten path now and then, which is why he’s introducing his new Audi e-tron SUV, which is just as much at home off the road as it is on it.

With the Ken Block treatment, it has his current signature matte white color, chunky off-road tires with black off-road Rotiform wheels, and a roof rack with space for a bike on top. The e-tron has the potential to go from snow to desert dunes, to the famous Moab, Utah trails, and Ken Block plans to do all of those things. With 490 lb/ft of torque, and 402 horsepower, all coming from a perfectly distributed battery and set of electric motors under the car, the e-tron remains in rear-wheel drive until power is needed in the front wheels, which makes it prepared for various traction situations. Adjustable ride height and a range of 220 miles also make it confident on any terrain. After seeing what his Audi RS e-tron GT was able to do, Ken Block is sure to bring this new Audi e-tron on some serious adventures.
