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 that, devs are slapping the drift tuning on the vehicles that actually deserve this.

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 can use the vehicles that are collecting dust in their garages. They 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.

Updated on November 23rd, 2024, by Mukul Dutt: Drifting has become quite popular in GTA Online after the introduction of drift tuning updates. Previously, players had a hard time drifting vehicles, and they always demanded something to enjoy drifting. What this tuning does is make cars drift easily around corners. To make it more fun, Rockstar Games also added drift races to make these new features competitive. As such, more cars have become drifting-focused since these updates, and have been added to this list.

8 Annis Remus

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

Based on	Nissan Silvia S13

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 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.

When it comes to class and performance, SUVs are the vehicles players mostly look toward in GTA Online. There are multiple great options to pick from.

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.

7 Dinka Jester RR

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

Based on	2020 Toyota Supra Advertisement
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 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.

6 Übermacht Sentinel Classic Widebody

Price: $650,000 + $700,000 (Benny’s Original Motor Works upgrade)

Top speed	127.25 mph

Übermacht Sentinel Classic Widebody has been a fan-favorite vehicle in GTA Online. Its rather compact wheelbase and size make it one of the best drift-tunable vehicles in the game. Fans were kind of disappointed that this vehicle didn’t receive any drift tuning in the first batch of the vehicles, but Rockstar Games gave it the upgrade the second one.

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.

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

5 Annis ZR350

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

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 on this list. It has a decent launch and impeccable handling for a rear-wheel drive car.

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

4 Karin Futo GTX

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

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.

3 Fathom FR36

Price: $1,610,000

Fathom FR36 is rightfully one of the best vehicles to drift around GTA Online. It was added to the game with the 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.

2 Übermacht Cypher

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

Übermacht Cypher is the best and most accurate-looking vehicle in GTA Online. Ever since this vehicle came to the game with the Tuners DLC, it has been a reliable vehicle that offers over-the-top handling and decent speeds. But with the Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC, it received the drift tuning upgrade as well.

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

The drift tuning couples best with the existing performance features of the vehicle. It is very easy to break traction to pull off some sick drifts with Cypher, and it is very consistent too. Since it is a Tuners category vehicle, it has tons of customization options and is the best-looking drift car in GTA Online.

1 Benefactor Vorschlaghammer

Price: $1,790,000

Introduced with the Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC, Vorschlaghammer is a vehicle that is specifically made for drifting in GTA Online. If players go by the look of this vehicle, this sedan will seem like a rather underwhelming drifting option with its unimpressive longer body. However, Vorschlaghammer just defies all of this.

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