GTA Online: 7 Best Vehicles for Drifting

Drifting is an art that many car lovers adore. It is basically over-steering the car intentionally in a controlled manner to drive through a corner. After 10 years of Grand Theft Auto Online’s existence, Rockstar Games introduced drift races in its long racing category. In addition to drift races, devs also introduced drift tuning to a number of cars in GTA Online.

GTA Online: 8 Pointless Vehicles That Are Not Worth Unlocking

There are a lot of vehicles that players can own in GTA Online. However, the following examples serve little practical purpose.

This created a different category of cars that players can equip with this new upgrade. Players just need to go to LS Car Meet and add the drift tuning upgrade to their eligible vehicle. It will cost them $200.000 for the upgrade. However, when players add the drift tuning upgrade, they have to sacrifice all the performance upgrades such as engine and transmission upgrades. So here are the best cars for drifting in GTA Online.

7 Declasse Drift Tampa

Price: $995,000

Based on	64 – ’73 Ford Mustang and ’70/’71 Dodge Dart,
Where to buy	Southern San Andreas Super Autos
Top speed	114.25 mph

The Declasse Drift Tampa is one of the fan-favorite sports cars that got the drift tuning upgrade. Even before the availability of the drift tuning, as the name suggests, Drift Tampa was a great drifting car in free mode and after the upgrade, it became even better.

There’s no need to waste cash on the fastest GTA Online vehicles when they can just as easily be stolen for a joyous ride across Los Santos.

However, among the available list of cars, Drift Tampa’s drift ability is somewhat underwhelming. The vehicle is quite long and makes it harder to drift during the races. But for the Drift Tampa lovers, they can master drifting it easily.

6 Annis Euros

Price: $1,350,000 – $1,800,000 (Trade price)

Based on	Nissan 350Z
Where to buy	Legendary Motorsport
Top speed	116.50 mph

Annis Euros is a curious case of how a vehicle can disappoint its fans multiple times. It is based on the iconic Nissan 350Z, which was also featured in Fast And Furious: Tokyo Drift. So, fairly, the expectations were high when Euros made the cut for drift-tuning eligible vehicles.

GTA 5: How to Sell Cars

Selling stolen cars is a great way to earn money in GTA 5. Here’s how to do it.

Ever since it was introduced, fans have mixed feelings about this vehicle. Fans later believed that the drift tuning upgrade might help to redeem its value. However, this was not the case. It feels kind of heavy while drifting and requires greater skill and practice to master it.

5 Annis Remus

Price: $1,370,000 – $1,027,500 (Trade Price)

Based on	Nissan Silvia S13
Where to buy	Southern San Andreas Super Autos
Top speed	115.50 mph

Annis Remus is levels above the Annis Euros when it comes to drifting. It is better in every aspect and is a delight to drive around the corners. Players can easily control their vehicle while drifting and have a great response. It is a great free-roam vehicle and quite underrated on its own.

Players should definitely try Annis Remus in Drift races to rack up points. In addition, it is also on the relatively cheaper side after unlocking the trade price, thus players can not go wrong with this.

4 Dinka Jester RR

Price: $1,970,000 – $1,477,500 (Trade Price)

Based on	2020 Toyota Supra
Where to buy	Legendary Motorsport
Top speed	125.00 mph

Dinka Jester RR is a great car to drift around in free roam and decent enough to use in the drift races. It has better handling and, while drifting, the vehicle seems very responsive. In addition, its size is also perfect for drifting.

Players can easily get into drifting this vehicle. Moreover, Jester RR is probably the best-looking car on this list. Like the Annis Euros, it is also a tuner category vehicle and thus has a lot of customization options.

3 Annis ZR350

Price: $1,615,000 – $1,211,250 (Trade price)

Based on	Mazda RX-7
Where to buy	Legendary Motorsport
Top speed	117.50 mph

The ZR350 is already one of the best tuners category vehicles in GTA Online. From looks to performance, it checks all the boxes and is another fan-favorite vehicle to be on this list. For a rear-wheel drive car, it has a decent launch and impeccable handling.

But when players put the drift tuning to ZR350, it just becomes another ball game. Players can consistently drift this vehicle casually on the streets or around the corner.

2 Karin Futo GTX

Price: $1,590,000 – $1,192,500 (Trade Price)

Based on	Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86
Where to buy	Southern San Andreas Super Autos
Top speed	119.75 mph

Karin Futo GTX comes under both sports and tuners categories. However, its performance is very underwhelming in both categories. But when it comes to the drift cars category, the story is different. The drift tuning upgrade helped the owners of Karin Futo GTX juice out some value from their purchase.

Its relatively smaller size gives the Futo GTX an edge over other vehicles and can help it cut corners quite easily. It also has some great customization options through which players can make it into a full-blown race car or give it a simple, low-key look.

1 Fathom FR36

Price: $1,610,000

Based on	Infiniti G35
Where to buy	Southern San Andreas Super Autos
Top speed	121.50 mph

Fathom FR36 is rightfully the best vehicle to drift around GTA Online. It was added to the game with Chop Shop DLC, which also introduced drift racing and drift tuning, so it is understandable. It has great handling and a subpar top speed of 121.50 MPH.

FR36 doesn’t have a great launch given that it is a rear-wheel drive car only. However, drifting with FR36 just feels right. The car has manageable over-steer, which makes it very competitive for the drift races in GTA Online.
