Too Afraid to Ask

Drift cars are cars that are built to slide sideways around corners. They are modified to make it easier to lose grip on the back tires while still being able to steer the car.

Technical Definition

Drift cars are specially modified vehicles designed for drifting, a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels while maintaining control through a turn. These cars often have modifications like upgraded suspension, tires, and power enhancements to facilitate this driving style.
