850-HP Mercedes G-Class Safari Is All Kinds Of Ridiculous

Sweden born professional freeskier and alpine ski racer, Jon Olsson, is back again with yet another wild new project. This time around, it’s not a brand new vehicle but a new modification for his heavily tuned Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4² nicknamed Lord Hans.

If the name sounds familiar, it’s because this is the very same G-Class that Olsson turned into a convertible in June last year in order to fit the off-roader into the parking garages in Monaco and Marabella. Now, the G500 4×4² has received a custom fabric roof that allows the skier to drive it on rainy days. As you can see from the video above, there’s also a new exterior white color matching Olsson’s personal clothing brand.

In its previous version, Lord Hans had its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 heavily upgraded to deliver 780 horsepower (582 kilowatts). Further hardware improvements, including a new exhaust system (yes, yet again), boost that figure to 850 hp (634 kW). Unfortunately, Olsson doesn’t speak about one of the coolest features this car had - an iPhone app that adjusts an internal valve in the exhaust pipes to alter the sound.

In the video, Janni, Olsson’s wife, who is a fashion and lifestyle blogger, also enjoys the freshly modified G. At the end of the 15-minute clip, the couple goes out for a quick tour around Monaco. And it’s a sight to behold.
