Best drift cars in Forza Horizon 6

Drifting in Horizon Japan is a love letter to touge culture, and the right car makes it click. These are early community drift favourites, plus the setup basics that turn any rear drive car into a slider.

What makes a good drift car

Rear wheel drive, a long wheelbase and manageable power are the core of a good drifter. You want enough torque to break traction on demand, but a chassis that stays predictable once the rear steps out.

Community drift picks

• Nissan Silvia Spec-R (S15), the textbook drift platform.
• Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex (AE86), the touge classic.
• Mazda RX-7 Spirit R, light and rotary smooth.
• Toyota Supra RZ (A80), heavy hitting heritage drift.
• Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ, cheap and friendly to learn on.

Drift tuning basics

Build toward a drift setup: more rear power, a drift differential locked high, softer rear springs and anti roll bars, and tyres that let the rear rotate. Lower rear tyre pressure helps the car slide.

Gearing matters too. Keep the car in its power band through second and third gear, where most drift zones live.
