Ken Block’s final ‘Gymkhana’ video to be released next month

Almost a year after YouTube stunt-driving star Ken Block died in a snowmobile crash, the entrepreneur-turned-race driver’s final ‘Gymkhana’ drift video will be released in December.

In a video uploaded to YouTube, Hoonigan – the clothing-turned-production company founded by Block – previewed what will be the last drift film to feature its founder, recorded late in 2022 before his untimely death.

Titled ‘Electrikhana Two’, it appears to be an evolution of the first ‘Electrikhana’ video which was released in October last year – the first of the ‘Gymkhana’ series to feature Block driving an Audi, the custom-built battery-powered S1 ‘Hoonitron’.

Though the first Electrikhana instalment wasn’t as well received as earlier videos of Block in high-power petrol Subarus and Fords, it became symbolic of his ability to drift anything and perform stunts in unexpected locations.

While the partnership between Block and Audi was expected to become a new chapter between the internet sensation and German car maker – which has a deep history in motorsports – the 55-year-old was killed on 2 January 2023 in a snowmobile crash near his Utah home.

Block’s wife Lucy and teenage daughter Lia have continued to race rally cars in the US this year, raising awareness for the 43 Institute – also known as the Ken Block foundation – partnering with Block’s former co-driver Alex Gelsomino and his Australian wife Rhiannon Gelsomino, respectively. 

Hoonigan – which Block founded in 2010 as an automotive lifestyle and clothing business with Gymkhana co-creator Brian Scotto – is yet to confirm a specific release date for Electrikhana Two.
