With games evolving at a staggering pace these days, sometimes it might be difficult to tell the difference between reality and the virtual world (especially if things happen late at night). Or is it?
Perhaps the video below can assist people when it comes to distinguishing the actual car scenarios from those that involve 1s and 0s. We have to explain the footage contains a Bugatti Veyron, as well as a digital interpretation of the now retired hypercar.

The footage shows a gamer enjoying some GTA V time (who wouldn’t like such a simple pleasure these days?), with the guy handling a Truffade Adder.

Those of you who haven’t been following the Grand Theft Auto franchise should know the game doesn’t use actual cars like you’ve seen in racing simulators. Instead, GTA packs digital contraptions that are close enough to the real deal to be recognized and yet can’t see the developer of the game being held responsible for anything.

Returning to the action in the clip, the minivan serving as a mobile gaming station gets passed by an actual Bugatti while the Truffade Adder virtual driving takes place.

In case the dark Bugati in the video seems familiar, that’s because we are talking about the hypercar nicknamed Dutchbugs Veyron. Now, there are multiple instances in which you might have seen the car earlier this year.

The Dutchbugs Veyron will go down in hypercar subculture history as the Bugatti that was used to remove the brand’s godhead. You see, with the Veyron production having ended, the holy aura around the machine has disappeared, which means these guys were able to use it for all sorts of otherwise unimaginable shenanigans. Stuff like losing a drag race to a tuned BMW or being used for a softroading session for no apparent reason.
