This Bugatti Veyron has more than 1,000 CV, is rear-wheel drive, and is quite a spectacle doing donuts

There are certain vehicles that have a high level of sportiness, which is difficult to surpass but, on certain occasions, this is achieved. In this situation is this Bugatti Veyron and its owner, who has decided to carry out an operation never before considered on a vehicle of this caliber. Without a moment’s hesitation, Houston Crosta, owner of the Veyron, decided to take it to his personal workshop and carry out a complete conversion to make the French hypercar send all the power of its W16 exclusively to the rear axle instead of to both axles, thus becoming the first rear-wheel-drive Bugatti Veyron.

For many, this operation will be sacrilege; for others, a madness we should commit if we were in that situation. But the real reason this Veyron has lost its all-wheel drive is because, according to Crosta, it is slow. He himself explains that the Bugatti Veyron is very fast in a straight line, but winding roads are not its strong point, and part of this problem is due to the 1,888 kilograms he states it weighs on the scales.

Houston also owns Royalty Exotic Cars, a company that rents supercars of the caliber of a McLaren 720S or Lamborghini Huracán Performante. However, today he has decided to focus on his personal vehicle, a Bugatti Veyron on which he carries out all the appropriate maintenance himself. This is even more surprising, since we are all aware of the level of demand the French firm shows regarding services such as oil changes, a process that can only be carried out at an official dealer or at the factory itself.

Crosta has decided that this was not going to happen to his Bugatti Veyron, which at the same time comes with the pack offered by Mansory, which makes this unit even more special. At the same time, Houston states that working on the French hypercar is relatively simple, since it shows a mechanical language very similar to that of other vehicles in the VAG group, such as the Audi R8 or the Lamborghini Gallardo, two models that have passed through the hands of this enthusiast of the motoring world.

Inside this Bugatti Veyron lies a supercharged 8.0-litre W16 engine capable of generating 1,200 CV of power and 1,500 Nm of torque, figures that are now sent directly to the rear axle. In this way, the French hypercar has become a true drifting and donut-making machine, feats that no one would have imagined could be achieved by a much lighter and more radical Bugatti Veyron.

Without a doubt, Houston Crosta has had the courage to cross the line that Bugatti imposes on its customers, which does not allow them to interact mechanically with their vehicles. However, Crosta has decided to go further and play with his Veyron and make all the modifications he deems appropriate.
