Jon Olsson is a man who has fine form when it comes to his car collection. In the past, he’s modded and slapped a roof box onto a GT-R, Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo, Murcielago SV, Le Mans-style prototype race car and, his pièce de résistance, a DTM-inspired Audi estate with enough power to reverse tectonic movement.
This is his latest daily driver, an 800bhp Lamborghini Huracan. Again wrapped in camo with a roof box plopped on top. Yes, and yes.
Jon is a professional skier, Gumball 3000 veteran and now, a YouTube star thanks to his Insta-worthy life and insane dedication to pretty much everything. Which includes his cars.
Not a fan of half-measures, Jon saw the Gallardo’s successor and decided to turn it up to 10. Something he explained to us after revealing the new car.
“I wanted a sick-looking car with great tuning capabilities,” Jon said. “Four-wheel-drive was high on the list, so I started with a list of potential cars including a new RS6 DTM, Nissan GT-R and Ferrari FF. But then I moved over to sports cars as I love the reaction when I arrive at ski slopes in them. I then narrowed it down to the Audi R8, McLaren 650S and Lamborghini Huracan. I fell for the Huracan as I love the design and the V10 kills it sound-wise, plus it has four-wheel-drive.”
After driving the car for just 478km, Jon started work on stripping it down in order to build it back from the ground up. He enlisted the help of Swedish tuner Stertman (the same tuner who fitted two 18-karat gold anodised turbochargers to Jon’s RS6, raising the horsepower to a nice round 1000bhp) for something a little more ambitious.
“Initially, I planned to build a crazy widebody kit. But after driving the stock Huracan, I realised that I did not want to mess with the suspension geometry. And to be honest, I thought it looked so good stock that I did not feel that it was worth the amount of time it would have taken to build a new body. I just told Stertman to build me the fastest car possible while maintaining the driveability and feel of the car.”
