There's a myriad of missions, activities, and stunts to play around with when zipping across Forza Horizon 4's lush English locales. From intense drag races to Barn Finds to online battles, there's no shortage of things to do in this dynamic open-world racer. While fans enjoy the slew of diverse features and events, mastering the art of the drift isn't often high on the list. Given their delicate, out-of-control nature, pulling off lengthy drifts isn't always easy.

Thankfully, there are a number of cars whose traits and statistics can accommodate this exhilarating feat. Solid handling, torque, and acceleration can all contribute in a ride that's ideal for coasting through turns and skidding across the terrain for an extended time. Whether the goal is conquering those pesky Drift Zones or exploiting the drift to pile on or chain together skill points, these are some of the best to opt for.

It's not one of the most juiced-up or glamorous cars, but this '94 production car from Japan is a great choice when it comes to drifting. Its speed isn't going to be sky-high, but solid drifting doesn't necessarily require super speed.

In fact, slower cars like this can actually benefit with cleaner, more controllable drifts, provided the main goal isn't racking up major skill points. The car's light weight and decent handling will allow for drifting that can be easily managed. It's a great beginner's car for those looking to hone their drift game. Sometimes slow and steady wins the race, after all.

This speedy sports sedan definitely excels when it comes to wild, extended drifting. As it happens, the Lotus Carlton had been the fastest sedan in the world since its 1990 debut.

Its launch and speed stats of 7.6 and 7.2 respectively ensure that players can quickly and easily skid around while notching ample skill points. At the same time, its steering and suspension allow for plenty of stability and feedback while whipping around sharp turns.

The car holds a distinct East-meets-West feel, as Japanese manufacturer Nissan intended this to sell to the American market. The rare, retro-style sports car isn't exactly going to burn rubber, but it should work wonders for drift enthusiasts and those who favor turn-laden tracks.

Its stats are pretty well-rounded, making for a drive that's smooth and manageable. Players should also note that the newer models of the Fairlady (350Z/370Z) also excel when it comes to drifting.

This 2010 sports car from Germany shines for its solid handling and powerful V8 engine, which sets the stage for some swift and flashy drifting. Its stats are above average across the board (for the S1 827 build).

This car's 8.8 launch and 7.8 braking allow for drivers to stop and go with relative ease. It is an ideal trait for drifting around tight corners and winding roads.

The default model of this car is admirable in its own right, but the Forza Edition really has it going on. This luxury car can only be obtained as a Wheelspin or Super Wheelspin reward, or through an Auction House listing.

Its top-notch acceleration and handling allows it to zip across twists and turns quickly and efficiently, making it a great choice for Drift Zones. On top of this, the Forza Edition provides a Drift Skills boost that can be exploited for even more points.

Race cars tend to safe bets when it comes to good drifting cars, and this especially holds true for classic models like this. The nimble, lightweight nature of this US-made car makes it optimal for coasting around the many twists and turns throughout England.

It's not going to knock any socks off in terms of horsepower. However, its solid launch and handling make it a good choice for skidding around corners swiftly while keeping control.

2 Hoonigan Hoonicorn

This Ford "Hoonicorn" Mustang is a fan-favorite when it comes to online races and competitions, and there's a good reason for this. Quick, solid, and versatile, this car can handle almost anything thrown its way, and that includes ample drifting.

The vehicle is even tagged as a "drift car," making its specialty rather apparent. The powerful engine of this all-wheel-drive car sets the stage for sustained skidding, especially while offroading. Its notable torque, coupled with awesome stats across the board, allow for drifts that are both flashy and manageable.

These traits, coupled with some great braking, make it ideal to blaze through Drift Zones effectively. Players will enjoy having this Viper fittingly whip and slither around the winding roads and rugged terrain.
