Rolls-Royce Wraith Goes Drifting, Becomes a Taxi in Russian Version of Tax the Rich

Some Rolls-Royce automobiles are luckier than others and, over the last decade or so, we’ve seen more and more of these Spirit of Ecstasy bearers being used for Orthodox purposes.

Probably the most famous example comes from Tax The Rich. You know, the Internet VIP who drives exotics and uber-luxury cars as if he’s shooting for Gone in 60 Seconds.

Over the years, Tax The Ritch has provided plenty of oh-my-God-expensive action, from drifting a Wraith over a field to driving Ferraris in a World Rally Car-worthy manner.

As you can imagine, the Youtube uploads coming from Tax The Ritch arrive in extremely limited numbers and right now we’re a bit of a withdrawal.

Luckily, one of Russia’s greatest car portals is more than happy to deliver a local version of Tax The Ritch. We’re talking about Smotra, a team of people who don’t even seem to bat an eye while pulling all sorts of extreme stunts with cars.

Their latest adventure features a Rolls-Royce Wraith. And yes, they drift the hell out of the coupe. Actually, it’s more like doing extra-wide donuts with the cameraman running around in the space that makes up the center of the donut. The drone footage included in the video allows us to get a pretty good view of this extreme hobby.

Truth be told, the car wasn’t hooned throughout the entire drive

We might’ve mentioned the tire-smoking action, but the Rolls was also used as a... taxi. Unfortunately, our Russian language skills are not exactly sharp, but we invite any non-trolling citizen who can assist us with that to bring his or her contribution.

In case you’re wondering about a number of stereotypes in the clip below, you should be prepared for plenty of them.
