The Rockstar Games title is filled with hundreds of different cars, each with unique handling characteristics that gamers can master. One such trick they love to do is drift their cars.

Drifting is a skill in which drivers maintain control of their cars while oversteering them, all while taking a corner. Although the type of car players use matters while drifting, they can also drift using low-grip tires.

Which is the best drift car in GTA Online?

Dinka RT3000 is considered one of the best drift cars in GTA Online. The 2-seater roadster has featured in the multiplayer title since the release of the Los Santos Tuners update and is heavily inspired by the visual appearance of the real-life Honda S2000.

Its basic design and sporty nature are the highlights of the tuner vehicle. The following main characteristics distinguish RT3000:

• Central mesh grille at the front
• Circular fog lamps
• Black headlamp housings
• Small amber indicators
• Simplistic bonnet area
• Upswept skirting area
• Small mirror shells
• Third brake lamp on the rear boot lid
• Manufacturer emblem below the lid
• Black tail lamp housings
• Basic rear bumper featuring number plate

Regarding its performance, the Dinka RT3000 runs on an Inline-4 engine coupled with a 6-speed gearbox powering the entire vehicle in a rear-wheel drivetrain. It boasts incredible acceleration and can reach a staggering top speed of 119.25 mph (191.91 km/h) on a full upgrade, as tested by Broughy1322.

Although the vehicle suffers from a bit of poor traction and oversteer tendency, it’s best for drifting due to its precise steering. The Dinka RT3000’s characteristics make it easy for drivers to initiate a drift whenever possible. Players need to turn left and then right very quickly for the vehicle’s rear end to swing out, then oversteer to maintain control.

It also provides average protection from crash deformation on a complete upgrade, and even if it loses some body parts, it won’t affect the performance much.

Grand Theft Auto gamers can buy Dinka RT3000 from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $1,286,250 - $1,715,000.
