The Hunter Olympus Governor is one of nine new vehicles introduced to Burnout Paradise via the purchase of the Big Surf Island downloadable content, released on June 11, 2009. The Governor is a military vehicle that features a camouflage livery and heavily treaded off-road tires, but the most notable difference between the Governor and its original variant is the addition of Stunt boost. Since, the Governor's Strength rating has not been weakened, it has kept the stock Olympus' poor handling & extremely heavy weight. Despite the equipping of Stunt boost, the Governor's weight prevents it from being anywhere near useful in Stunt Runs, because it cannot Flatspin or perform Barrel Rolls on smaller ramps from lower speeds. Still, the stunt boost gives it more mobility, so it is easier to maneuver than the stock version. In the end, the Olympus Governor is best used in Marked Man and Road Rage events.
[edit] Description
Now making it's offline debut, the military spec Hunter Olympus Governor is still big, it's still slow, and it's still damn near unstoppable if you can get it up to speed. Rivals in road rage won't know what's hit them!

[edit] Resemblance
The Olympus Governor has strong resemblances to the Range Rover Stormer, the Honda Element's rear suicide doors, the Hummer H2, and the front of the new Ford Flex.
- The Governor is one of two vehicles that can be driven with its engine fully exposed.
- Details on this vehicle were first revealed in a news article created by CriterionGames on Friday, June 5th, 2009.
- This vehicle can't be used in an Online Cops and Robbers.
- The Olympus Governor is one of the few vehicles in the game that is capable of taking down a GT Nighthawk head-on at full speed. Note that this is only happens when both vehicles are not boosting. If they are, both the Governor & GT Nighthawk will wreck on impact, which is better known as Settling the Score.
- One of the reasons why the Governor is so difficult to drift and e-brake turn is because it has a Four-wheel drivetrain.
