Показать описание
Mat’s lining up in the incredible Audi S1 Hoonitron, and is about to go head-to-head with the iconic 1985 Audi S1 Quattro Group B rally car!

So let’s see how these three incredible Audis stack up. Starting with the S1 Hoonitron, it’s a car you would normally expect to see smashing out doughnuts rather than running in a straight line!

However, it still packs a mighty punch, with its two electric motors delivering 680hp and 640Nm of torque. What’s more, despite packing a 50kWh battery, it’s still fairly light, weighing in at 1,620kg.

Then we have the infamous Audi Group B rally car. It’s got a 2.1-litre 5 cylinder turbo producing 500hp & 480Nm. It may be down on power but it’s a fair bit lighter than the Hoonitron, tipping the scales at just 1,090kg.

So how do you think this one will play out? Will the Hoonitron leave the old rally car in its wake? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

That 360 turn was brilliant. The cockpit cam made it look effortless!

Considering the SWB wasn’t built for drag racing the 11.6s for a 40 year old car is insane 💪🏾

Over 40 years difference and just 1 second between them. The Quattro is magnificent!

Seeing that old Audi being driven right, and that guy banging gears like a right legend is awesome 💪 Dindo, I think Ken would have given you a thumbs up. Great episode Carwow!

That 360° really made my heart ache a little. Knowing the person it was made for wont ever drive it again. Im glad Kens spirit can live on in so many ways, and that 360° was one of them.

Drag racing is not a valid comparison for cars. Put them on a racetrack, where braking and weight matters. Hoonitron wouldn't have a chance.

Right, the 1/4 mile with a 360 has to become a regular feature!
This was amazing, big respect to Audi for letting Mat race these legendary cars!

Lets just remember that the original S1 is over 40 years old, I'd say that's damn good going considering the gap! I'd still take the group B beast over any modern, solely electric car, for sound alone! TBH I'd have expected more development over 4 decades, nonetheless the Hoonitron still shines & is an amazing car in its own right! RIP Ken.

That Audi 5-cylinder turbo "chirping" in between gears is legendary... I remember their IMSA cars with the same noises. Love it.

The brake test was classic example of the extra weight of the battery powered car.

Quatro doing 11s 40 years ago is pretty epic.

That 360 was something else!! So unexpected and deeply cool, especially at that speed.

The 360 was hilarious with all the smoke and high pitched noise coming from the Hoonitron.😂

The 360° in the middle of a 1/4 run was one of the coolest things I’ve seen on this channel. Well done!

Must be an amazing feeling to drive Ken’s car.

Also I honestly almost think the Hoonitron wins the sound check. The electric whine is actually really cool.
