Snow covered carbon fiber.
Jon Olsson is one of the best skiers in the world and he has quite a taste for high-end cars. You may remember his camouflaged DMC Lamborghini Gallardo that he had custom made with a ski box. Now, there’s the Jon Olsson Audi R8 dressed in carbon fiber and packing 710 supercharged horses.
The Jon Olsson Audi R8 is the newest super car to get the alpine ski treatment. Olsson had sent the car to PPI with the plan on installing some modest modifications. Those plans turned into a complete transformation as the tuner installed their full carbon fiber widebody kit. They also added a large rear wing that does double duty as a mounting point for the skit box.
But that’s not all. The Jon Olsson Audi R8 also is powered by a supercharged 5.2-liter V-10 engine from STaSIS. The supercharger system boosts power all the way up to 710 horsepower and 523 lb-ft. of torque, making it one high-output snow-mobile.
Should make for some very exciting drives in the snow!
