Watch Jon Olsson Race a 600hp Supercar Up A Ski Slope

Jon Olsson: great skier, luckier SOB. He somehow convinced the people at Betsafe to shut down a mountain in Sweden just so he could drive his absolutely insane Rebellion R2k, which is essentially a street-legal race car, up a ski slope.

The car is a heavily modified Ultima GTR with a body closer to a Le Mans prototype race car, and it's got the engine out of a Lamborghini. Jon reported that it was fantastic in the snow, to a point where the helicopter that was filming him actually had a hard time keeping up. Amazing.
