Blocks RS e-tron GT (buy Audi e-tron GT used cars now) has matte white body trim with black trim. His co-host says in this video that the car looks like a Stormtrooper from Star Wars.
The wheels are the same white color but mismatched in design. Block’s fans on Instagram chose the rims. Their first choice was the six-spoke NGO design, and Block mounted them on the rear axle. Up front, they opted for the turbo-style Aerodisc model.

Rotiform made the wheels specifically for Block’s RS e-tron GT, as the company did not yet have the appropriate series parts for the new one Audi decreed. For normal driving, Block has put Toyo Sport tires on the wheels. For trips in the mountains, he wants to use Toyo Celsius all-season tires.
The roof rack is an Audi accessory. Block uses it to store his snowboard and boots.
Technically, this RS e-tron GT is in original condition. This means that its electric twin-motor powertrain delivers 590 hp (440 kilowatts) and 830 Newton meters of torque. The system can temporarily increase power to 637 hp (475 kilowatts). According to official figures from Audi, the four-door car will reach a speed of 96 kilometers per hour (60 miles per hour) in 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h.

In the video, Block says he hasn’t driven his RS e-tron GT yet. At the very end of the clip we see him getting it out of the garage. The content of the rest of the Electric Fleet video series is unclear.
Powerful burners from Audi:
Audi A8 L 60 TFSI quattro (2022) on test: luxury and performance
Test Abt RS6-R (2020): What can the over-RS 6 with 740 hp do?
Part of the clip’s YouTube description reads, “It’s a perfect fit for me, my family, and all the wild snowboarding adventures I do on a daily basis here in Utah.” That leads us to suspect that the rest of the series could show how Block uses the performance EV in the real world.
In 2021, Block announced a partnership with Audi. The company will give him a special Audi S1 e-tron Quattro Hoonitron to build. He will be the star of the next Gymkhana video titled Electrikhana.
