You probably already know that Alpine skier Jon Olsson like to strap ski boxes to supercars in order to be able to use such machines for his transportation needs. Olsson is currently considering swapping his Lamborghini Gallardo with a new ride and he has recently visited aftermarket developer PPI, in order to get a good feel of the PPI R8 Razor GTR V10.
He is considering fitting PPI’s carbon fiber R8 with a ski box and using it as an everyday car. Here are some thoughts on this (posted on his blog):
1. I love having the Gallardo as its in a price range where I can drive it every single day.
2. Jumping back and forth from a Gallardo and the Razor R8 made it clear that Audi had taken advantage of its older brother and fine tuned a lot of things, what struck me the most what how much better the steering wheel, pedals and seat was placed, The R8 made a Gallardo 560 feel old.
3. As much as I love the Aventador, it would be a car that would be taken out a few times a year.
4. I would love to find a car one step up from the Gallardo as I would still feel okey driving that every day.
5. Its been a while since I had a chance to do something to a car that I did not develop myself. Going with PPI would give me what I want without taking time from skiing.
6. I love re buildning cars!
7. Right now I want the Razor and look at its carbon fiber body all day long. (not to mention feeling that 250kg weight saving it would give a R8 V10)
8. I change my mind every day.
Before we end this story, we'll remind that Olsoon has also spent some time at the Koenigsegg factory earlier this year.
