The Fathom FR36 is one of the newest GTA Online cars from The Chop Shop DLC. The vehicle instantly became popular after its release as Rockstar Games offers some special customizations and features for it. While all players in the game can drive the FR36, it is particularly popular within the drifting community. If you haven’t driven the vehicle yet, then you must try it as soon as possible.
This article briefly discusses what makes the Fathom FR36 one of the most notable cars in GTA Online in 2024.

The Fathom FR36’s Drift Tuning Modification makes it a special car in GTA Online
The Fathom FR36 is one of the few cars that are eligible for Drift Races in GTA Online, thanks to the Drift Tuning Modification. It is one of the latest car tunings in the multiplayer game that disables all other upgrades and makes the vehicle a complete drift car.
The Drift Tuning Modification is one of the USPs of the FR36 as it was launched exclusively with it. You can drive the car to the LS Car Meet workshop and apply the upgrade. However, this feature not only disables other upgrades but also makes the vehicle difficult to control for regular drivers. Therefore, the Fathom FR36 should be applied with the Drift Tuning Modification only if you are an expert drifter.
Rockstar Games should also consider the FR36 as one of the returning drift cars in Grand Theft Auto 6.
The GTA Online car has a simple rounded body that can fool anyone into thinking of it as a normal vehicle. However, Rockstar Games offers plenty of regular customizations that can completely change its looks. Players can also build a sleeper version of the Fathom FR36 by simply customizing the engine and a few other internal components, and leaving the outer body as it is.

Another thing to note is that the FR36 is a budget-friendly car in GTA Online when compared to most other vehicles. You can purchase it from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website for $1,610,000. Getting such a feature-rich car at this price tag is considerably a very good deal. Therefore, if you are a drift enthusiast, you must certainly give the Fathom FR36 a try.
The FR36 should also be added to the upcoming game. But, it is yet to be seen in the teasers. Since the GTA 6 release window has already been announced, Rockstar Games should add it to the game and confirm it as soon as possible.
