"I see the electric car as a leap forward for us as a society, which will create something that can reduce emissions and hopefully make the planet a better place," Block said.
“But not only: it's also about performance. I like anything that makes me go faster, and electric cars can do that. And when it comes to sound, I have kids who do. They don't care. They think electric cars sound as cool as internal combustion engines. "
During a visit to Audi following his engagement by the manufacturer, Ken Block was able to drive several historic racing and rally cars of the brand himself.
These included the Audi Sport Quattro S1 and the Audi V8 quattro from DTM, but also the futuristic concept Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo.
The American has also recently tested and driven various electric cars.
He recorded the third fastest time of the last stage of the Dakar 2020 rally with an electric prototype, and the same year won the inaugural race of the “Projekt E” rallycross series in Höljes (Sweden).
