In this exhilarating episode of Ideal, we delve into the world of drifting with a twist. Forget your typical choices like the 240 SX or the Skyline - we're talking about 10 drift platforms that will make your heart race. Picture this: the Infiniti M45, a luxury sedan with a V8 engine that roars like a beast on the track. Its long wheelbase and three-wheel drive make it a surprising contender for those seeking a unique and affordable drifting experience.
Moving on to the Lexus SC300 and SC400, these unassuming vehicles pack a serious punch under the hood. With the iconic 2JZ engine and rear-wheel drive, they offer drift potential that will leave you craving more. And let's not forget about the Volvo 740 and 940 turbo models - sleeper kings of the drift world. These brick-like cars may not look the part, but their turbocharged engines and solid chassis make them a force to be reckoned with on the track.
Now, imagine the thrill of drifting in a Mercedes-Benz W203 C-Class. Yes, you heard that right. This well-built machine, with its rear-wheel drive and range of engine options, defies expectations and delivers a performance that will leave you speechless. And who could overlook the Ford Mustang Cobra from '99 to '04? With independent rear suspension and a powerful V8 engine, this American icon offers a unique drifting experience that is both exhilarating and affordable. And last but not least, the Chevy S10 pickup truck - an unexpected contender in the world of drifting. Lightweight, rear-wheel drive, and customizable, this truck is a budget-friendly option that will surprise everyone at the track.
