Which is the best car for drifting in GTA Online?

While drifting around a corner might not be the fastest way around one in GTA Online, it can get you a lot of style points as it is a supremely cool thing to do.

Ever since the days of Initial D and Western movies like Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift, gamers have had a fascination with cars that can drift.

What drifting essentially means is letting the rear of the car loose and oversteering around a corner without crashing into anything. While similar to a powerslide, the point of a drift is to extend the length of the slide without losing much momentum.

Naturally, GTA Online has a number of cars suited to players' drifting needs, and some are better than others in that regard. While technically, almost any car in GTA can be used for drifting, there are some designed with only that in mind, and thus, are that much better to handle.
