An entire industry has been built up around a subset of auto enthusiasts who love nothing more than burning rubber and turning tires into smoke. Drifting is little more than a continuous burnout around a pre-determined circuit. The most important tools for any burnout artist is of course the tire…and if you’re feeling a little, shall we say, flamboyant, why not get some colored tires for some colored burnouts?

Australians love to do burnouts, and they have whole competitions based on who can burn the best rubber. Colored smoke tires meanwhile have been around for a while, though some consider them more a gimmick than anything else.

We’ve seen red, blue, and yellow smoke tires before…but purple? That’s new to us.

This is Australia’s version of the Mustang for all intents and purposes, though some might argue that the Aussies are much rougher on their rides.
