Drifting is an art adored by many car lovers. It is basically a deliberate controlled oversteer of the car to go through a corner. After 10 years Grand Theft Auto Online existence, Rockstar Games introduced drift racing in their long racing category. In addition, developers slap drift tuning on vehicles that really deserve it.

This created a different category of cars that players can equip with this new upgrade. Players can use vehicles that collect dust in their garages. All they have to do is go to the LS Car Meet and add drift tuning upgrades to their eligible vehicle. The upgrade will cost them $200,000. However, when players add drift tuning upgrades, they have to sacrifice all performance upgrades such as engine and transmission upgrades. So here are the best cars for drifting GTA Online.

Updated on November 23, 2024, by Mukul Dutt: Drifting has become quite popular in GTA Online after the introduction of drift tuning updates. Previously, players had difficulty drifting vehicles and always required something to enjoy drifting. This tuning allows the cars to drift easily in corners. To make it more fun, Rockstar Games has also added drift racing to make these new features competitive. As such, since these updates, more cars focused on drifting have been added to this list.

8 Annis Remus

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

Annis Remus is a level above the Annis Euro when it comes to drifting. It's better in every way and it's a joy to drive in corners. Players can easily control their vehicle while drifting and have a great response. It's a great vehicle for free movement and quite underrated in its own right.

Players should definitely try Annis Remus in drift races to earn points. Plus, it's also on the relatively cheaper side once the trade price is unlocked, so players can't go wrong with it.

7 Dinka Šašek RR

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

Dinka Šašek RR is a great car for freestyle drifting and decent enough for drift racing. It has better handling and the vehicle seems very responsive when drifting. In addition, its size is also perfect for drifting.

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

6 Übermacht Sentinel Classic Widebody

Price: $650,000 + $700,000 (Benny's Original Motor Works Upgrade)

Übermacht Sentinel Classic Widebody was a fan favorite vehicle GTA Online. Its relatively compact wheelbase and size make it one of the best drift-tunable vehicles in the game. Fans were a little disappointed that this vehicle did not receive any drift tuning in the first batch of vehicles, but Rockstar Games gave it an upgrade in the second.

It has better handling and is super easy to drift through corners. However, it just misses the mark and remains lower on this list, but still above many of the other drift-tunable vehicles available in the game.

5 Annis ZR350

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

The 350 ZR is already one of the best vehicles in the tuner category GTA Online. From looks to performance, it ticks all the boxes and is another fan favorite on this list. For a rear-wheel drive car, it has a decent start and flawless handling.

However, when players put drift tuning on the ZR350, it becomes just another ball game. Players can consistently drift this vehicle randomly on streets or corners.

4 Karin Futo GTX

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

Karin Futo GTX falls into the sports and tuners categories. However, its performance is very poor in both categories. But when it comes to the drift car category, the story is different. The drift tuning upgrade helped Karin Futo GTX owners get some value out of their purchase.

Its relatively smaller size gives the Futo GTX an edge over other vehicles and can help it carve corners with relative ease. It also has some great customization options that allow players to turn it into a full-fledged race car or give it a simple, understated look.

3 Fathom FR36

Price: $1,610,000

Fathom FR36 is rightfully one of the best vehicles for drifting GTA Online. It was added to the game with Chop Shop The DLC that also introduced drift racing and drift tuning is understandable. It has great handling and a below average top speed of 121.50 MPH.

The FR36 doesn't get off to a great start considering it's only a rear wheel drive car. However, drifting with the FR36 is just right. The car has controllable oversteer, making it very competitive for drift racing GTA Online.

2 Übermacht Cypher

Price: $1,550,000 – $1,162,500 (trade price)

Übermacht Cypher it is the best and most accurate looking vehicle GTA Online. Since this vehicle came into play with Tuners DLC, it was a reliable vehicle that offered superb handling and decent speeds. But with Bottom dollar rewards DLC, it also received drift tuning improvements.

Drift tuning is best combined with the vehicle's existing performance characteristics. With the Cypher, it's very easy to break traction to clear some bad drifts and it's also very consistent. Being a Tuners category vehicle, it has a lot of customization options and is the best looking drift car in GTA Online.

1 Benefactor Vorschlaghammer

Price: $1,790,000

Introduced with Bottom dollar rewards DLC, Vorschlaghammer is a vehicle that is specially made for drifting GTA Online. If players go by the looks of this vehicle, this sedan with a slightly longer body will appear as a rather clumsy drifting variant. However, the Vorschlaghammer simply defies all of this.

With better handling, players can easily drive and navigate through denser traffic. Players can easily break traction and slide it through tight gaps or corners. However, its expensive price tag is what makes gamers think twice before buying this car. However, this vehicle justifies that price with the performance it delivers. So, if gamers love drifting and have millions of dollars to spare, they should definitely buy this vehicle.
