Top 10 Best Drift Cars in Need for Speed (2015)
Each of these cars, when equipped with the best parts and a drift-focused tune, has proven itself in the community to deliver outstanding drift angles, control, and consistency in Need for Speed (2015).Whether you favor the high-tech traction of an AWD supercar or the predictable slide of a RWD tuner, these ten cars represent the top tier of drift machines in the game, as validated by both player feedback and in-game performance results.
Each will slide through hairpins and sweepers with style. It's all about finding which car's drift handling matches your driving preference.
The Huracán is often hailed as the "drift king" of NFS 2015. With AWD stability and immense power, a fully tuned Huracán can hold huge drift angles with control.
In fact, a community drift contest saw all the top scores achieved in Huracáns. Its consistent drift handling and acceleration out of slides make it a go-to choice for high-level drift events.
A fan-favorite drift machine, the 180SX delivers superb drift handling and ease of use. Lightweight and agile, a maxed-out 180SX initiates drifts effortlessly and maintains great control through corners.
Many players rate it the best drift car in the game for its forgiving nature. "The 180 is somehow the best. Very easy to use," as one experienced player noted. Its consistency and cheap build cost make it a top pick for drift events.
Renowned for its balance, the RX-7 offers excellent control in drifts when fully upgraded. The RX-7's rotary engine provides smooth power delivery, helping keep slides stable.
Drifters praise its blend of predictable handling and easy drift initiation, calling it "the most control [with an] easy to get the back end out" ratio among drift cars. In practice, players found that switching to a tuned RX-7 made challenging drift events "work wonders" in terms of difficulty.
Ken Block's custom '65 Mustang, the Hoonicorn, is built for drifting, and it shows. This AWD, 800+ hp beast, unlocked in-game via the Legends update, absolutely shreds through drift courses.
It offers enormous drift angle potential and a unique sideways driving feel. While it demands skill to tame, players report that "Ken Block's Hoonicorn is so smooth once you master it," rewarding practice with spectacular, consistent drifts.
Surprising to some, the Aventador's AWD grip and weight make it a drift juggernaut when tuned right. Fully upgrading this V12 supercar unlocks controllable power slides and high-speed drifting capability.
Community feedback indicates the Aventador is one of the game's greatest drift cars. One player who owned every car said the Aventador, along with the 180SX, stood out as the best. It excels at long, stable drifts, using its traction to prevent spin-outs while carrying high drift speeds.
A classic drift icon, the Silvia S15 lives up to its pedigree in NFS 2015. With a fully upgraded engine and drift tuning, the S15 exhibits sharp turn-in and fluid oversteer, letting you chain corners with ease.
The game even slyly hints at the Silvia's drift prowess. There's a "secret about the car's handling" in its description, nodding to its excellent drift performance. Affordable and highly customizable, the Silvia is a consistent performer in drift events, known for its precise handling and high-angle slides.
Don't overlook this modern hot hatch. The Focus RS can dominate drift courses when maxed out. Its rally-bred AWD system provides remarkably controlled drifting.
With tuning, the Focus can break traction on command yet remain stable through transitions, making it very forgiving. Some NFS veterans cite the 2016 Focus RS as a top drift car, calling it "a very good drift car" in the game. It's a favorite for its balance of grip and slip, allowing even average drivers to hold stylish drifts consistently.
The C7 Corvette's brute power and rear-wheel drive make it a drift monster when fully upgraded. Boasting 1,000+ hp with upgrades, the Z06 can smoke the rear tires and sustain long drifts with ease.
Once tuned for drifting, it offers great angle and throttle control and is noted as one of the easier high-horsepower cars to drift well. In community recommendations, it frequently pops up alongside the Huracán and Focus as a top drift choice. The Corvette's muscle-car torque lets you kick the tail out at will and carry tremendous momentum through drift sections.
As a lightweight RWD sports car, a fully built BRZ/FR-S is a natural drifter with superb consistency. Its balanced chassis and low center of gravity translate to predictable, smooth drifts even at high power.
Many players start with this car and find little reason to switch for drift events. "The BRZ is pretty nice too," one drifter noted when discussing top drift cars. With maximum upgrades, the BRZ's modest power is elevated enough to hang the rear end out on demand, while its nimble handling keeps you in control through each slide.
The E46 M3 proves to be a versatile performer, excelling in drift competitions with the right setup. Fully upgrading this classic BMW provides a balance of power and precision steering. The result is smooth, controllable drifts and quick transitions between corners.
Some players have used the E46 as their all-purpose car, completing the bulk of drift events with it. It is praised as "a great car, both for drifting and grip" once properly tuned. The M3's balanced weight distribution and responsive handling make it a solid, consistent choice for mastering drift challenges.
