Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse WRC Donuts: Most Expensive Tire Smoke Ever

With so many Bugatti Veyron editions, we're starting to believe even certain owners can be confused when it comes to understanding the designation of their hypercars.
Let's take the guy driving the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse WRC in the clip below, for instance. As those of you following Molsheim's ways know, the three letters at the end of that moniker stand for World Record Car.

The eight Veyron units labeled this way were Bugatti's way of celebrating the record-setting run that saw a Grand Sport Vitesse hitting 254.04 mph at the VW Group's Ehra-Lessien facility. You know, the one Koenigsegg can't get a hold of in order to show the world what their creations are capable of.

Well, the owner of this Grand Sport Vitesse WRC must've mistaken the name for World Rally Championship. Why else would he be using his 1,200 PS Bugatti to bake donuts?

The driver went all the way, with the Veyron responding via a stunning show involving uber-fast all-wheel-drive spins. In the process, the limited edition hypercar toasted all four tires and we can't help but think this might just be the most expensive tire smoke ever recorded on camera.

For one thing, a set of Veyron tires can cost a sportscar-buyer anywhere between $20,000 and $42,000. Now, before anybody starts throwing rotten tomatoes at the guy (you know, they help with the spinning), we have to mention the video's description states the hypercar's rubber had already reached the end of its lifetime, with these donuts sealing the deal.

The Grand Sport Vitesse WRC belongs to Dutch hooning team DutchBugs. If the name sounds familiar, it might be thanks to all the hooning these guys pulled in a standard, 1001 PS Veyron.

From racing a tuned E39 M5 to going for a bit of an offroading session, the DutchBugs Veyron can he held responsible for shattering the aura of mystery Bugatti had so carefully maintained while the machine was in production. So we can only expect more from this crew.

P.S.: Be prepared to ignore the passenger's reaction, as too much Youtubing (he's a Fifa 16 YT guy) can cause such behavior.
