Seen that too mad respect

Ken, you are awesome. The massive smile on that kids face!

that ending was amazing. Class act Ken, way to make that kids day. Smiles per mile!

Interesting how the wheel speed is untethered due to the lack of a gearbox. I wonder if adding a switch to limit maximum wheel speed would help modulate drifts?

Heh I don't think Audi is going to add a drift mode/switch :D It's kind of amazing seeing an electric car do this in the first place - From watching The Straight Pipes, they try to get ev's sideways any amount, and it's really hard always. But Ken Block of course makes it look easy on this car!

I think adding sound connected to the wheelspeed will give more feedback for ken to adjust the drift, at the moment it's all more or less silent.

Given its all electronics it should just be a matter of some hacking of the onboard computer and giving it an emulated sequential "gearbox"!

Audi needs to make a Hoonigan mode for Ken's cars

That ending got me in the feels. Great job!

From outside it sounds like an FPV drone because of the tire squealing.

Dammmm that intro already know it's gonna be good

Pretty impressive Mr. Block! Thanks for sharing!

That kid was so wholesome and polite, very enjoyable to watch

Mad respect for this man, great vid great car great donuts.

interesting having the steering wheel paddle shifters be more of a vertical button than one on a lever. nifty look! Props! Thanks for sharing the edit!

that was super dope of you Ken giving the young lad a ride! I’m sure he’ll remember that day forever 👍

Super cool, very kind for doing that for that boy. Also could tell how much you were working to drift that thing with no e-brake, mad kuddos!

Love that you took dude for some rips!!

The car looks so good sliding around!

Cool sound just hearing the wheels shred!

Hardest time behind the wheel I've ever seen Ken have. He usually makes it look so easy.

I love how quickly he answered back yes you should when you asked if you should try again, Carson is awesome.

Ken you are an all around great freaking person, I respect people who give back. 👍🤙

The real quick “Yes, let’s do it again!” That was awesome!!

Be nice to know how the battery pack stood up to this, how many hours did it last, what was the drain and percentage used. No information to suggest was all of this on 1 charge or multiple

So good that you took out Carson , well done keep up the good work

I have to say, front headlights I love. A set of widebody fenders or aero extensions around them fender front/rear would be really nice. Loving the ride.

A variable throttle setup in a few 1/4 setups min/max is a bit tough. Need some micro. You had a good slide going though, even with the stability/braking assist stopping you from Hoon bliss. Got to get into that pc of that thing and see what it is doing in there. Devs can get you a hoon-controller in there or something. Like paddle shifters but for hoon-control.

Some clips from this would make great asmr since its unique to do donuts without engine sounds

You made the kids day..month... and year..in one slide......well done guys..

It sounds so wrong without engine noise bouncing off the limiter 😆 I still love this car though.

I wonder how the 4wheel power delivery is programed . The virtual slip diff . Sure there can be many set ups made .

That moment with the kid gave me goosebumps , what a great thing to do for him!

Epic drifting

That boy will remember that day the rest of his life.Thank you Ken for all the wonderful memories ❤

The computer is like: "Ok counterst- no slow down- wait- fuck- accelerate? shit- BRAKE- correct- AHHHHHH!!"

Love this video Ken is just an amazing driver

Kudos to Audi for making such a good looking electric car that can skid.

I know it's hard from what you used to do when you did in GYMKHANA series. Especially using hand-braking, but I'm sure you're doing awesome

How long do you usually need with a car before you feel comfortable with how the car will react to your inputs?

Next episode looks way more lit

It’s eerie to hear quiet hooning.

That’s absolutely awesome doing that for the foundation for small children and people with children of these is anybody that does that is absolutely awesome

Ken you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace

I wonder if Audi Sport could customize some firmware to adjust torque bias, throttle maps, ESC and whatnot. I mean, I'm sure they could, but...would they, even for KB?

i would love to see you Hoon the new Audi RS3 with it´s Drift Mode. And yeah, a Handbrake would make it much easier.

Can’t wait to see this car on This vs That

Such an awesome opportunity for the young buck, and really cool that y'all brought him out and hooked him up with a ride. A little jealous, but he def deserved it. Lol

I think there might be a big market for aftermarket control boxes that let you manipulate maximum wheel speed and throttle curve maybe. And since some new cars brake by wire - couldnt you just put an electric button that just locks up the rear brakes?

When you watch Ken drive, you can see the life of experience. #KB43 forever.

What a guy! Ken is the best 🙌🏽

the only thing missing is the engine sound! other then that.. amazing!!

Agreed. I'm not too keen on VW Group and others going the EV route but seriously, seeing the RS e-Tron GT in person was just mind-blowing with overall performance. Much more than my buddy's NA2 NSX, my B9 RS5 Sportback, as well as my buddy's 991 GT3 when we encountered it on the highway. Like I seriously underestimated the living hell out of both the RS e-Tron GT and the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. Friggin' Ghosts

Do you pick your own tire tread and compound?

It would be nice to see you Ken driving Rimac Nevera!!! I wonder what would Mate Rimac say about that? 🙂

Absolutely made that kids day. He’s gonna be talking about this day for a long time.

Legendary!

Haha it’s like polishing a car without the sound of the machine but the friction

I drifted a dump truck once. I’m confident Ken has this. 💨 🍩

Carson looked like he had some fun!

Hola desde Montevideo Uruguay 🇺🇾💝 Ken block impecable Audi RS eléctrico buenísimo los derapes 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝🇺🇾

So rad to see Ken's face in the end. He usually has that stone cold face. He is human hahaha

Carson handled that ride like a boss!

That young man's smile is great!

Well done for dreamon3.... good job

Its fun to watch the progression and he probably got it down in less than 30 min

Interesting car, wheels, electric engine, and driver 😃

Did Audi program a dyno mode or a full off on the stability systems for you to play around? It looked like the front tires a couple times were trying to correct the car on the high speed slides at the end. In the audio you could hear a rhythm of speeding up and slowing down doing the figure 8 work. I don't know if that was driver input or the car intervening.... It would be very cool to see you get out in a RS6 or some other audi products and slay them out there also if Audi will provide the opportunity. Love the content!

É Máquina...

So sick

Only ken can do it! Legendary

I think that Ken should explore a little bit more on lemans classes it would be awesome, he has a really good chance for that with Audi

I think you already know, but if you hold the traction control button for 3-5 second the car will turn off all the assistance (the dynamic mode isn’t doing that). It will make it easier to drift.

Ken block u legend the kids face says it all

Nice seeing Ken making it look more difficult than usual. Normally he’s making all us regular folks look like newbs and here he’s just like us 🙌

I'll be honest, i am waiting a signature car from Ken like Ford Focus RS. Electric Audi with a Drift Mode can be COOL AF 🔥 !

I think Ken could drift anything. Next video, Ken drifts a unicycle on an ice rink, blindfolded.

Man, the cheese of that kid's grin!!! Awesome example of being a human, Ken!

Getting the hang of the Audi is a little different then gas cars but your getting the hang off it I wanna tell you what a wonderful thing to take that young man on a ride on the Audi was a amazing thing the smile on his face was priceless I hope you keep doing things like that when you can it can really change the life of a person.

Imma need to know where they got their out fits from. their drip is immaculate

I love seeing Neil in Hoonigan content! It's a perfect match for personality and commentary for Ken.

Love the intro music anyone know what it is

A lung full of Toyo

Giving the kid a ride..... AWESOME

HERE WE GO!!! 3:00

These tires are hot,,,Ken,,,I ain't done that much,,,😂😂😂😎🤘

That's how we do it Ken!. Good job!.

There should be a hoon setting.

It sounds like a game 😂 no car noise just special fx lol

Good moves KB 👍

Laguna coming next🎉🎊🤘

It seems like a big part of drifting is being able to hear the revs of the engine. This must be difficult.

I'm sure he'll figure it out. He is a professional driver. We all can see that even when you're at the top, there's always room for improvement. Very inspiring. I'm sure that kid will take home a very big lesson from his wonderful experience watching the legendary driver, figure it all out again from scratch.

Awesome

Wow that car is BEAUTIFUL 😍

4:09....beep from the Audi saying I don't like something. What was the error Ken?

"Put your foot on the gas!" is now "Put your foot on the watts!"

“I’m trying to figure out how much gas to give it” classic

...Godbless you Ken for putting a smile on Carson's face...-theautojunkie-

DAYUUM!!!!

Sickkk!

The most QUIET 😎 Drifting Ive ever heard in my life 😂😁🍩🍩🍩

Reminds me of how my turbo project drove when I had the wastegate plumbed wrongly to the plenum instead of pre-throttle - damn thing was on/off and you almost couldn't control a slide in it, very much like this EV throttle of 100mph while the body is doing 10mph etc. Similar behaviour, similar issue. Thinking about the software to make this behave well, tricky to write. Hmmmm.
