Drift & Rear-Drive

More About the Drift & Rear-Drive Driver

The Drift King lives for oversteer, opposite lock, and the art of controlled chaos. The Nissan Z is the modern drift weapon: rear-wheel drive, twin-turbo V6, and a chassis that practically begs to be thrown sideways. The Toyota GR Supra - especially with the inline-six - brings BMW-sourced power and a balanced platform that drift builders are already welding cages into.

The Nissan 370Z remains a fan favorite thanks to its affordability, VQ power, and massive aftermarket support. The Ford Mustang GT with its live rear axle (pre-2015) or independent setup (2015+) is a drift-event staple from coast to coast. The Infiniti Q60 offers a sleeper platform with coupe looks and rear-drive confidence, while the BMW M240i gives you a turbo-six and a compact footprint perfect for tight courses.

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe, if you can find one, is the budget drift build that punches way above its price. Lock the steering angle, swap the diff, and let the tires scream.
