This YouTuber made one of the hardest choices ever and traded in his custom Rolls-Royce Phantom for one of the slickest speedboat models out there.
Most people would think that owning enough cars would satisfy you, but things can get pretty monotonous, even for someone with a decent collection.
The thrill of the game for this man clearly didn’t come from a Rolls, so he decided to get cruising.
Well, blazing through the waters — to put it correctly.

Vlogger parts with his Rolls-Royce to get a speedboat
Meet YouTuber Jon Olsson, a recognized car enthusiast among motorheads worldwide, who also happens to have a sizeable car collection.
He has been previously involved in getting his hands on some bizarre projects like a monster-truck-esque G-Wagen, but now had toned things down.
His most recent collection included an Audi RS6, a Porsche Cayenne, a Cadillac Escalade, and a custom Rolls-Royce Phantom curated by Mansory.
That’s right, it wasn’t just any Phantom, but rather a sleeper build with a stealth vibe going on.
However, he thought it was time to get rid of it and get a high-performance speedboat instead — which he showed in one of his regular vlogs.
What’s more interesting here that he made this decision in a matter of just three days — from trying out the boat in person.
So, what was so special about this boat?
Not just any boat
It was a Brabus Shadow 900 Black Ops speedboat, which is basically a powerhouse on water.
If you’re wondering — yes, it’s that Brabus — the firm who tunes cars.
Similar to its tuned cars, this Brabus speedboat comes with dual 4.6-liter V8 engines that send out a combined 900 horsepower.
Additionally, this vessel can reach top speeds of 69mph or 60 knots.
It does all that while looking like an absolute monster — but in a good way.
As alluring as this speedboat may be, it wasn’t the sole reason behind Olsson parting with his Rolls-Royce Phantom.
You see, he knew the Phantom was an excellent car, especially for the people in the back seat.
Olsson, however, never got to sit in the back seat.
Hence, he never truly relished owning one of these and could get a refreshing experience while being in the captain’s seat of a speedboat.
As unusual as it may seem, it certainly makes sense.
