At the beginning of this month, we gave you a first look at Jon Olsson’s brand new 900HP DTM Audi RS6. Since first showing it off, Jon Olsson has had a chance to hit the snow and break in his new car.
Jon will take part in Gumball 3000 Rally on the 23rd of May, 2015 for Team Betsafe and is wasting no time in proving his claim that this is the worlds meanest station wagon. So where do you go when you’re Jon Olsson and have just taken delivery of a custom widebody RS6? Straight into extreme weather conditions, of course!
“I did not build this car to roll around to car shows, this car was built to get me anywhere I need to go, no matter what weather it is!”, says Jon. “I have to admit that the snow was a little deeper than I thought, but at least now I know that I have the worlds fastest snowplow!”
This isn’t the first car Jon has put through his paces either, being well known for his Ultima GTR’s, Lamborghini’s, Audi R8’s and the Rebellion R2K which we previously featured on the website here.
“I have done a few crazy things in cars, but smashing through snow like this was one of the weirdest things I have done as I could not see a thing while I was under the snow!”, says Jon whilst admitting that he was a bit worried about how the car and all the carbon would handle a beating.
You can check out the exclusive video below for more, which gives you a first look at the performance of the car whilst it’s blast through piles of snow in Åre, Sweden. Be sure to bookmark the Betsafe page for updates leading into and during Gumball 3000 Rally.
