The 10 best cars for drifting

Sliding or doing drift is one of the most fun things you can do with a car. That said, before doing anything, make sure you have mastered the technique or, at least, that you do it somewhere where nothing is at risk. Here are the ten best cars for drifting.

Ford Focus RS

The Ford Focus RS was one of the first production cars to offer a “drift mode”. A mode that has won the hearts of many drivers. We need say no more.

Nissan 350Z

The Nissan 350Z may not be the best car in the world, but it is certainly one of the best cars for drifting. It is not very expensive and we are sure it will keep you entertained on a track.

BMW M5

The BMW M5 never disappoints, whatever the generation. Its great power goes to the rear wheels and is combined with a long wheelbase. The new BMW M5 is all-wheel drive, but it has a rear-wheel-drive mode to guarantee you a good drifting session. Do you want one? So do we.

Ford Mustang

The Ford Mustang can become a marvellous car for drifting. The V8 engine has enough power to keep it sideways. Does the idea appeal to you?

Mazda RX-7

The Mazda RX-7 has a front-mounted engine, a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. As you probably know, rotary engines tend to suffer from a lack of reliability, which is why some drivers opt to replace the engine.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S

The new AMG models, like the Focus RS, include a specific drift mode. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S is one of them and therefore could not be missing from our selection of the ten best cars for drifting.

BMW 3 Series E36

The BMW 3 Series E36 could not be missing from the best cars for drifting, because it is an ideal car for sliding. It has rear-wheel drive, a manual gearbox and it is light. What more do you need?

BMW 3 Series E46

If you like the BMW 3 Series, the E46 is one of the best options. Right now they are cheap and, if the rear seats are removed, it becomes a light car.

Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86

In case you didn’t know, the Toyota GT86 broke the record for the longest drift during 2020. Furthermore, examples of this model are relatively cheap. Would you get one?
