In this drag race showdown brought to you by carwow, it's a battle between the Ken Block futuristic Audi S1 Hoonitron and the legendary Audi Sport Quattro S1 Group B rally car from 1985. Strap in, folks, because this is going to be one hell of a ride.
Let's start with the S1 Hoonitron. This electric beast boasts not one, but two electric motors, one on each axle, delivering a mind-boggling 680 horsepower and 640 newton meters of torque. With its hefty 53 kilowatt hour battery pack, it's no lightweight, tipping the scales at 1,620 kilos. But don't let its weight fool you, because this car means business. And with a price tag in the millions, it's clear that this is no ordinary electric vehicle.
Now, let's turn our attention to the icon of rallying, the Audi Sport Quattro S1 Group B. This machine hails from a bygone era, when men were men and cars were monsters. Under its hood lies a 2.1 liter 5-cylinder turbocharged engine, churning out a formidable 500 horsepower and 480 newton meters of torque. It's a symphony of power, unleashed through all four wheels via the Quattro all-wheel drive system and a six-speed manual gearbox. And with a weight of just 1,090 kilos, this rally legend is as nimble as they come.
The race commences, and the S1 Hoonitron launches off the line with lightning speed, leaving the Quattro S1 in its wake. The quarter mile is conquered in a blistering 10.1 seconds by the electric marvel, while the Quattro S1 trails behind with a time of 11.6 seconds. It's a clear victory for the S1 Hoonitron, showcasing the incredible performance potential of electric power.
But the battle doesn't end there. A rolling race is initiated, and once again, the S1 Hoonitron dominates, leaving the Quattro S1 in its dust. It's a testament to the advancements in electric technology and a glimpse into the future of high-performance vehicles.
