# Standing Burnout In Smoke — Veo 3.1 Video Prompt

## Editor's note

The car is stated as stationary so the model spins the wheels instead of driving away. Smoke then has time to fill the frame.

## Prompt

Copy the text below exactly into Workroom with Veo 3.1 selected to reproduce this result.

Night street drift scene, low-angle cinematic shot from behind a sports car with a large rear wing and glowing red taillights. The car is stationary (no forward movement). It performs a rear-wheel burnout: rear wheels spin very fast in place, tires screech, and thick dense white/gray smoke pours out from the rear tires, rapidly filling the scene and rolling backward and upward. Wet/dark asphalt with visible tire marks and reflections, teal/blue ambient city lights, high contrast cinematic grading. Smoke has realistic turbulent motion and volumetric depth. Camera stable (or slight handheld minimal), 4K, 24fps, smooth motion, no cuts.
