You may have noticed that pro skier and Gumball Rallyist Jon Olsson has moved on to his latest ride in the form of a truly intense
DTM-inspired RS 6 Avant. Given that, perhaps it is no surprise that his old-to-him Audi/Lambo V10-powered Rebellion R2K road-going LMP-style racecar has gone up for sale.
According to the listing on
JamesEdition.es the car is currently located in Marbella, Spain and has logged just 29.000 km (18,020 miles). Based on the Radical Ultime GTR LMP-for-the-road style chassis, the car was custom fitted with 600 hp V10 and e-gear from a Lamborghini Gallardo, a custom suspension from Ohlins and 19-inch center lock ADV.1 wheels.
Constructed by Koenigsegg, Olsson’s Radical was a thoroughly custom build with plenty of carbon fiber pieces including rear wing, steering wheel and seats. It weighs just 2,314 lbs. (1,050 kg), even with all-wheel drive that all assures it’s pretty quick… even on ski slopes.
Olsson has a track record of building (ahem) radical cars for competition in the Gumball Rally, and this likely qualifies as his most extreme. There’s no doubt he was inspired by the Audi R18 Le Mans cars in the build of the car and also the design of the livery. It is a truly impressive thing.
If you want the car, it’ll run you a cool €249,000 (about $270,000 U.S.). While that’s not cheap, it’s also not terribly expensive for what it is. Also, it comes with the body moulds just in case you should do some damage to the one-off bodywork or care to replicate the build at a future date. More information
