The Bugatti Veyron is the kind of car you see driving around a city center at five miles an hour, at best, or sitting in a climate-controlled garage at worst. Thatâs what makes it so shocking to see one being used to all of its abilities: doing 1184 horsepower all-wheel drive donuts in the dirt.
Today is National Donut Day, which big-time national donut chains usurped to lure you into their doors. Much better, itâs as an excuse to roast tires, and an exceptionally appropriate way to drive your ultra-rare Ford GT, as demonstrated by pro drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr.
Doing donuts in a car is one of the highest forms of humankindâs interactions with the physical world. Itâs a delicate dance of form and shape, of machine and biology, of rubber and asphalt. That said, if you do them in the middle of a busy bridge and cause an enormous traffic jam, youâre a jackass whoâs going to ruinâŚ
The BMW Isetta is one of the cutest cars ever made, with its front-opening door and teeny-tiny dimensions. Thankfully, it looks no less cute when it does adorable little donuts.
One of the purest joys in all of racing is when the race cars arenât in competition and just get hooned like regular cars. Red Bull Racing was Hungary (get it? GET IT??? Like, Hungary âthe country,â âhungryâ the need for sustenance... you know what? Iâm sorry. Jesus, Iâm sorry) for donuts this week, so they letâŚ
The Chevrolet Cavalier is one of those great hallmarks of âmeh:â a car so aggressively bleh that you canât hardly feh about it. They fade into the background unless theyâre covered in Insane Clown Posse stickers or something. Yet this driver found a way to make even a beige Cavalier exciting.
The goofballs at Hoonigan turned an old Volvo V60 (RIP) into what is basically a full-sized Crazy Cart and proceeded to do the tightest donuts physically possible. Or maybe itâs more like a portable Disneyland teacup ride... deathtrap. Looks fun.
The Hill Country Rallye is an annual gathering for aircooled Porsches on the twisty roads of central Texas, and this yearâs event brought out 130 of the best cars on the planet. Even with one of the most coveted cars on the planet, the siren song of a gravel parking lot must be answered.
The âseeking gourmet donutsâ crowd and the âneeding to get my car washed and detailed next to the highwayâ crowd donât overlap much in Manhattan, which I imagine is why so few people I talk to have been to Underwest Donuts.
Yâall got some of that LSD? The limited-slip differential is perhaps the best drug known to hoon-kind. Itâs the trick tech that keeps your burnouts from being sad one-tire fires. Once you drive one, youâre hooked. The Hoonigans released this absurd, nearly 45-minute megacut of their best burnouts, donuts and stunts,âŚ
Bizarrely, this is the first time Iâve ever heard donuts (car donuts, not the kind you get from Tim Hortons or Krispy Kreme) referred to as âcookies.â Either way, Iâm now both hungry and ready to spin a big, loud muscle car around in circles after watching this footage from a âCookie Contestâ in Iowa.
The Porsche Macan may be best known as the demon scourge of the Nordstrom parking lot, but thankfully, some of you Macan drivers are out there proving the little crossoverâs worth by getting sideways in the snow.
The delightful nuts at YouTubeâs Shifted Interests channel swapped a 1000 cc Yamaha FZ1 engine into a Smart Fortwo, more than doubling the horsepower and making it a whole lot rowdier. What do you do with such a delightful build in the winter? Snownuts, duh.
I tend to like German cars. The Volkswagen Golf is good. An E30 BMW 3 Series is also good. Throwing the rear subframe of an E30 under a forest green Golf and then destroying some tires is just something else.
Much of the northeast is in full winter blast mode, and for reader Tom Lawrowski, that meant it was the perfect weather for his F80-generation BMW M3. Clearly, snow removal is the best use of 444 horsepower.
