Customization has been an integral part of car cultures around the world, but with the emergence of highly-developed electric vehicles with an abundance of proprietary parts, it becomes more and more difficult to give modern EVs a unique look. However, Gymkhana icon and Hoonigan boss Ken Block has now unveiled his new personal daily driver in a video, which in fact looks quite a bit different compared to the corresponding stock model.

The car in question is a brand-new 2022 Audi RS e-tron GT, which comes in a special matt white wrap with black accents and two different custom-built wheels made by Rotiform. Block decided to let his Instagram followers vote on which rims to put on his brand-new German luxury sedan, and the Rotiform NGO and Aerodisc designs came out on top. The unique style of his Audi RS e-tron GT is complemented by a roof box in which he plans to transport his winter sports gear and equipment.

Besides all these exterior customizations, the Audi RS e-tron GT remains unchanged from a technical point of view for the time being. The electric sports car's two motors still put out 637 horsepower and 612 lb-ft of instant torque, which makes it the fastest Audi production car with the illustrious RS branding. Block apparently plans to release an entire series of videos on his new Audi RS e-tron GT, which is why fans of sporty electric cars might want to check out his very popular YouTube channel.
