Amongst RPGs, GTA Online has some of the best car mechanics ever released, almost on par with an actual racing game. Amongst the racing techniques, Drifting is probably the most popular. It enables sharper steering in a vehicle, which can look pretty awesome. Players have been holding a lot of drift games and drift races.
In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the top 10 best drift cars in GTA Online 2023.

1. Dinka RT 3000
The Dinka RT3000 is a 2-door roadster featured in GTA Online as part of the Los Santos Tuners update. Overall, the RT3000 has good top speed and acceleration but extremely poor traction, which actually makes it one of the best cars for drifting.
It is extremely easy to drift using the Dinka, even for a new player. Players can just turn left then right quickly enough for the rear end to swing out and catch it back with a countersteer. No other inputs such as handbrake are needed.
2. Karin Futo GTX
The Karin Futo GTX is a 3-door compact sports liftback and an upgrade of the original Futo. It has good speed and acceleration, alongside the ability to easily drift around corners at high speed.
Players need to be careful when driving the Karin Futo GTX, as it is rather fragile. Its wheels can bend from repeated collisions, which can affect handling. The drift potential cost the Futo GTX its performance. In races, this car is easily outclassed by other vehicles with more grip.
3. Annis Remus
The Annis Remus is a 2-door sports coupe from the Tuners update. The sports classification actually gives the Annis Remus ample power, which aids in its drifting.
Overall, the Remus has acceptable acceleration and a good top speed. Its handling is decent without any oversteer or understeer, which makes it good in street races. Despite its maxed out traction, the Remus will eventually lose grip and spin out if the player does not let off the throttle. This allow players to do more controlled drifting.
4. Pfister Comet S2
The Pfister Comet S2 is a sports car added in the Tuners update. Overall, it performs pretty well in races, having great acceleration, speed and braking power. It can even compete with stock cars in the super class, as it is able to keep up to them through the corner entry and stability through corner exits.
However, despite having excellent traction, the Comet S2 suffers from what is called a "Pendulum Effect" from rear-engined, rear-wheel drive vehicles. This allows players to swerve continuously to drift.
5. Vulcar Warrener HKR
The Vulcar Warrener HKR is a light pick-up/utility vehicle from the Los Santos Tuners update. It performs similar to the 4 door variant and has high acceleration and top speed.
The high torque makes it prone to spinouts, requiring careful driving to maintain traction. This allows players to drift fairly easily. Due to the car's lightweight and excellent braking, its handling is responsive and quick.
6. Bravado Banshee 900R
The Bravado Banshee 900R is a wide-body variant of the Banshee, featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the January 2016 Update. It is generally considered the best drift car in GTA 5, but players need to upgrade a few things to max out the car's potential.
Dual Exit Exhaust, EMS Engine Level 4, and Sport Suspension are needed to drift like a master.
7. Bravado Gauntlet Hellfire
Despite being a 2 door muscle car, the Bravado Gauntlet Hellfire is a great car for drifters. The Gauntlet Hellfire is evidently based on the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, with various small details taken from other vehicles. Performance wise, it is prone to sliding and even spinning out in turns, which is excellent in performing a good-looking drift.
8. Rapid GT
The Rapid GT's design strongly resembles the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster in the rear and main body. The vehicle has very good acceleration and average handling, which allows you to drift much easier in corners.
9. Willard Faction
The Willard Faction is a two-door muscle car that debuted Grand Theft Auto IV and was added to GTA Online as part of the Lowrider update. It is fairly heavy and can work as a drift car when the right upgrades are applied.
10. Banshee
The Banshee is a recurring mid-sized sports car appearing in every GTA game since Grand Theft Auto III and shares its reputation with the Infernus for being one of the two longest running sports cars in the GTA series.
It has back-heavy weight distribution and a terrible grip - which is perfect for drifting but bad at pretty much everything else.
