In the posthumous release, it appears that Block’s legacy persists beyond expectations. Unbeknownst to many, Block had already filmed an adventure before his passing. This adventure took him to Mexico City behind the wheel of the Audi S1 Hoonitron.

In the words of Hoonigan, “Block, The Hoonigans, and Audi continue pushing the limits of what’s possible in the performance EV world with Electrikhana TWO, sliding through iconic areas of Mexico City in Block’s infamously aggressive, rally-inspired driving style. Improving the car immediately after the first film, Block and Audi built on important development lessons from their experience in Las Vegas.”

With the release of this footage, fans are granted the opportunity to witness Block’s unparalleled driving skills once more, thereby reinforcing the enduring impact of his contributions to the automotive world. Once again, he raises the bar on what’s possible, leaving an indelible mark on the realm of extraordinary driving feats.
