Best drift cars in Forza Horizon 6

To get the best drift car in Forza Horizon 6, you'll need to tune and upgrade your car, just like your drag cars. We recommend looking up community tuning setups to ensure each car is purpose-built for drifting. However, you can also drift with pretty much any car in the game, as long as it's tuned correctly.

Here's our list of the best drift cars we've found in Forza Horizon 6.

1985 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex

• Value: 30,000 credits
• Source: Autoshow or wheelspin
• Class: D
• Rating: 376
• Type: RWD
• Rarity: Epic

First up is the king of drifting if you're an Initial D fan, the 1985 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex. You can even make it a perfect replica by finding a community-made design. It won't set you back too many credits, and is arguably the most iconic drifting car in the game.

1989 Nissan Silvia K's

• Value: 40,000 credits
• Source: Prologue or Autoshow
• Class: C
• Rating: 455
• Type: RWD
• Rarity: Common

The 1989 Nissan Silvia K's — yep, the starter car you get during the prologue — is one of the best drifting cars, if you can believe it. You'll need to spend some credits tuning it up, but it means getting started with drifting doesn't take much playtime at all.

1997 Nissan #777 240SX Formula Drift

• Value: 150,000 credits
• Source: Autoshow or wheelspin
• Class: S1
• Rating: 748
• Type: RWD
• Rarity: Epic

The most expensive car on this list by far, the 1997 Nissan #777 240SX Formula Drift (rolls off the tongue, eh?) is the best high-end option you'll find for drifting. It's also one of the only cars in the game — alongside the rest of the Formula Drift category — that are equipped for drifting right out of the autoshow. However, you'll still be able to improve them by tuning them up.

2015 Lexus RC F

• Value: 35,000 credits
• Source: Autoshow or wheelspin
• Class: A
• Rating: 623
• Type: RWD
• Rarity: Rare

A curveball option here, because looking at the 2015 Lexus RC F, you wouldn't think it's suited for drifting. Due to its high horsepower and torque though, combined with the fact it's rear-wheel drive, the RC F is a drifting beast once tuned.

1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata

• Value: 15,000 credits
• Source: Autoshow or wheelspin
• Class: B
• Rating: 548
• Type: RWD
• Rarity: Common

Pretty much any Mazda in Forza Horizon 6 is capable of drifting, including any MX-5 or RX model, but in our testing, we've found the classic 1994 MX-5 Miata to be one of the most consistent. As explained in one of the Drift Club missions, "the MX-5 loves to be sideways."

As for a few honorable mentions, any Nissan Skyline model is also capable of drifting well, as are all the Formula Drift cars. The Ford Mustang Dark Horse is also, quite literally, a dark horse when it comes to drifting.
