Unfortunately for those of us who are used to motion picture masterpieces such as Bullit or Vanishing Point, it looks like the contemporary film industry is struggling to come up with car people movies that are actually worth our time. There are, of course, a few exceptions and Baby Driver is one of them.
The motion picture sees Ansel Elgort playing the role of Baby Driver, a youngster who ends up becoming a getaway driver before realizing what it can all lead to.

Once the movie hit theaters, its creators no longer needed the services of the Subaru WRX that Elgort hooned throughout the movie. As such, one of the stunt cars was listed on eBay.

Sure, the offering was a successful one, with the tuned and famous 2006 Scoobie selling for $69,100, while the average Autotrader price of a WRX from the same year sits at $17,256. But what about Baby Driver - what would he hoon next?

Well, as Elgort recently demonstrated, the actor stepped up his game quite a bit, going for a donut baking session inside a Porsche 918 Spyder. For the record, the average Autotrader price of the Zuffenahausen halo car sits at $1,816,267.

The celebrity posted the footage of the hybrid hypercar adventure (the car is on German plates) on his Twitter account, letting us know that "Baby's Back".

Compared to the Subaru WRX sideways shenanigans displayed in the said film, the adventure we have here involves considerably more tire smoke. After all, the driver is now free of all the burdens that determined him to run towards the horizon in the movie.

So, does this mean that the American is willing to drive for the cameras once again? We're not sure, but, in case you haven't seen Baby Driver yet, we're inviting you to check out the motion picture and see if you agree with its 7.8 IMDb rating.
