Everything to know about the Declasse Drift Tampa in GTA Online

The Declasse Drift Tampa is a two-door, wide-body civilian drift car that was added to the game as part of the Cunning Stunts update in 2016. Unlike the standard Tampa car, the vehicle is based on the late Ken Block's famous 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR.

The vehicle's visual appearance has the following characteristics:

Front Fascia:

• Cut-out front bumper
• More room for lower intake
• A large splitter with two splitter strut braces on the sides
• Exposed velocity stacks decorated with hood pins
• Dual taped headlights

Side:

• Extended bolt-on arches give the car an aggressive look
• Exposed wheels
• A set of four strake lines behind the arches
• Underlying side skirts below the doors
• Side-mounted exhausts exiting behind the doors
• Rally netting on rear-side windows with no glass, sun strip, and roof scoop

Rear Fascia:

• Modified rear bumper
• A large diffuser
• Bolt-on fenders on the rear quarter panels
• Stock car ducktail spoiler

Performance-wise, the Drift Tampa runs on a powerful V8 engine in an all-wheel-drive layout, allowing it excellent drift capabilities. Players can easily perform doughnuts with the vehicle. As tested by popular YouTuber and Twitch streamer, Broughy1322, the Drift Tampa can attain a top speed of 114.25 mph (183.87 km/h).
