Forza Horizon 6: Best Cars for Drifting

Japan is arguably the best setting Forza Horizon has ever had for drifting. Winding mountain passes, tight touge roads, and long coastal stretches give you the best view while drifting, and the game has no shortage of cars that can deliver exactly that. Whether you are a complete beginner or a more experienced driver, here are the best drift cars currently in Forza Horizon 6.

Best Cars for Drifting in Forza Horizon 6

Toyota Chaser 2.5 Tourer V (1997)

If you are just getting into drifting in Forza Horizon 6, the Toyota Chaser is the most sensible starting point. At only 15,500 CR, it is one of the cheapest drift-capable cars in the game. Its handling stat sits at 4.7, which is not the highest number on this list but is actually a strength in this context. It is responsive enough to initiate slides cleanly but forgiving enough that overcorrections do not immediately send you into a spin.

Mazda Savanna RX-7 (1990)

The RX-7 has a handling stat of 4.5, which on paper looks modest, but the way it translates to actual driving feel is deceptive. The car weighs just 2,981 lb with a near perfect 51% front distribution, and those two factors combined make it one of the most naturally composed drift platforms in the game. Add a twin turbo setup, and it goes sideways almost on demand while still giving you enough feedback to hold a clean angle. At 23,000 CR, it remains one of the best value drift cars available.

BMW M2 (2023)

The BMW M2 is the clear standout here when it comes to handling, sitting at 5.9, which is the highest of any car on this list. That number shows up immediately when you drive it. Transitions between corners are cleaner, the car responds faster to steering input, and it holds its line through longer sweeping drifts without requiring constant corrections.

Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 (1985)

The AE86 has the lowest handling stat on this list at 4.0, but that number requires some context. This is a car with only 128 hp and a body weight of just 2,094 lb. In practice, that low handling figure does not feel like a weakness on the narrow touge roads where this car belongs. It is predictable, communicative, and precise in a way that raw stats do not fully capture. The 53% front weight bias keeps it stable under rotation, and on tight mountain sections where the speed is naturally lower. At 30,000 CR, it is a bargain for what it delivers in the right environment.

Formula Drift #151 Toyota GR Supra (2020)

If the other cars on this list feel too tame and you want something built specifically for drifting rather than just adapted to it, the Formula Drift #151 Toyota GR Supra is the answer. This is not a road car with a drift tune slapped on it. It comes from the factory on drift tires and sits in the dedicated Drift Cars category. Those numbers are in a completely different league from everything else here, and the way the car behaves reflects that.

At 185,000 CR, it is the most expensive car on this list, but it is also the only one that arrives already optimized for drifting without needing significant tuning work to unlock its potential. For players who have already learned the basics on something like the Chaser or RX-7 starter car and want to step up, the GR Supra Formula Drift edition is the obvious next car to own.

Which One Should You Pick

Start with the Toyota Chaser if you are new to drifting. It is cheap, forgiving, and genuinely good for learning without breaking the bank. Once you have the basics down, the RX-7 is the natural next step if you want more aggression and style in your slides without spending much more.

And if you have built up your skills and want the best drift experience in Forza Horizon 6, the Formula Drift GR Supra is the obvious answer. For more guides, check out our Forza Horizon 6 wiki.
