Jon Olsson isn't just a professional freeskier and ski
racer, he's also a horsepower
junkie. Why do we say that? Because he owns multiple wild creations that
make in excess of 800 horsepower, including one of the most
rambunctious Rolls-Royce Wraiths we've ever seen. Now, there's this:
his new 800-hp Mercedes-Benz
G500 4x4.
Absolute Motors, a performance shop in The Netherlands, once
again helped Olsson bring his latest creation to life, though the SUV will
return for official dyno numbers in the near future. The 800 hp figure is only
an estimate at this time.
We don't have a full spec sheet, but we do know the G500
boasts a raised ride height, a winch, a Brabus carbon fiber snorkel, LED
lighting (including police-like blue lighting in the grille), and a police
siren that can make various sounds and pierce eardrums. We don't think Olsson
will have to worry about being accused of impersonating a police officer.
Nothing is subtle about this rig, everyone will see and hear it coming, and no
police department would spend this kind of money.
The G500 also features a custom wrap, similar to the
black-and-white camo design found on Olsson's Wraith, but this one is much more
subtle with flat black and gray inserts.
The rig is fresh from the shop, but Olsson immediately
drives it like it was meant to be driven, wading through deep water, tromping
through mud, and really going to town on a pile of leaves. The G500 also has a
unique name: "Lord Hans the G," named after Olsson's brother. Check
out the automotive lunacy in the video above.
