This Camo-Wrapped, Roof Box-Wearing R8 Surprisingly Isn’t Jon Olsson’s

It's a mark of skier and YouTuber Jon Olsson's taste in style that we immediately thought this modified Audi R8 must be his, but apparently not...

Feast your eyes on this camouflaged Audi R8, built to our eyes to look like a product of skier and YouTuber Jon Olsson’s long line of similarly-altered cars.

Resplendent in a multi-tone camouflage wrap, with several blues on white and black, it was posted to the PUR Wheels Instagram account. The stickers include a reference to a George K, which Google says could be anything from a man at an advertising company to a 175-metre Liberian cargo ship. It’s surely not a reference to George, Jon Olsson’s Rolls-Royce Wraith...

This Camo-Wrapped, Roof Box-Wearing R8 Surprisingly Isn’t Jon Olsson’s

Roof boxes always look sweet on supercars and this one is no exception. Either it’s an Audi item or has been branded up that way, but it gives the impression that this is a car that gets used properly and needs the extra space. We’d all like a combination of plentiful luggage space and a screaming V10, right?

Obviously, the point of the Insta post is to show a new set of wheels from PUR. A 20-inch design here, these FL26 models measure nine inches wide at the front and 11 at the back. These are finished in matt black, but other coats are available.

I don’t know what you guys are talking about. All I see is a floating roof box and some pretty nice wheels

I can’t understand so much hype over a floating roof box

Yeah, it’s just used to store small things, and it’s not mostly made out of gold.

It’s a sign that you drive your impractical car for longer trips away, or with loads of activity/action gear on board. That’s just cooler than leaving a shiny supercar in a garage.

I don’t think it’s the best thing in the world, but on the R8 in this setting, with that wrap, and the roof box being over the middle of the car and not the rear it looks really good.

The box filled with all the stuffs needed for a weekend road trip on a super car is a middle finger to all other “practical” SUVs and VANs on the road in this day of age.
It is not a hype, it is an attempt to show other people that most people don’t really need SUVs and VANs, just a sport car with a box on top will do any jobs asked.

I took my Subaru STI to snowboarding with the roof of my car filled with snowboards and other items. Practicality doesn’t have to mean boring/soul-less SUVs and VANs.

What is this obsession of floating boxes and some fancy wheels? Sure, the wheels are nice but they would’ve looked better on a car like the R8 mentioned in the title.

650k for a wrap, a badly shaped roof box, a supreme sticker, a badly made fittment and some wheels?

The wheels cost $650. I think you misread that..

The Agera is the only car I know for a fact actually comes with a roof box option. Anyone know of others?
