The Crew 2 is a vast and incredibly versatile game that leaped into the racing video game genre just a few years ago as a sequel to the original game, building off of the previous game's success by completely overhauling the mechanics and roster of vehicles from its predecessor. The Crew was highly praised for its massive open world that let players cross state lines and compete in multiple race types that range from cityscapes to off-road dashes through forests and swamps.
The Crew 2 aggressively expanded on the popular incentives of its predecessor by nearly tripling the number of cars available to players and expanding the event types in the game to cover land, sea, and even air. While the types of events in The Crew 2 are versatile, one of the top types of races in the game will always be drifting. Drifting has a dedicated fan base in the racing game scene and takes skill and precision to accomplish. In The Crew 2, players will need the right vehicle for the job, so here are the best cars for drifting in The Crew 2.
8 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Drift Edition
Mitsubishi is a well-known manufacturer of vehicles that shine in the racing scene, both in official and unofficial settings. The long history that the evolution line of cars has on the street for their stylish designs and high performance has spanned from real-life settings, video games, and even animation.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is a devilishly fast vehicle with exceptional responsiveness when tuned correctly. While the Lancer Evolution X is a very versatile vehicle, it can more than handle the tight curves of a mountain pass or an official event.
7 Dodge Challenger
When thinking of sliding around corners, Dodge is not the first class of vehicles players will think of when it comes to drifting. However, while a blindingly fast muscle car, the Dodge Challenger does have what it takes to take on the streets and the track in both circuit and drift racing. It doesn't take much to tap into the power of the machine and get it to behave correctly around a turn, but some tuning is required to unleash its full potential.
6 Dodge SRT Viper
The mechanical genius at Dodge Motors is well known for its exceptionally fast cars and unique designs. One of the most famous and fastest cars that dominated the racing scene and shot to international acclaim was the Dodge Viper.
While seen mostly in Drag Racing events, in The Crew 2, the Dodge Viper is worth a shot when fishtailing can be used as an advantage. The Dodge Viper is a uniquely crafted vehicle with a strong zero to sixty stock rating and can glide around a bend just as well as it can stick to the street.
5 BMW Z4
BMW is widely known as a luxury vehicle manufacturer but is a frequently used line of cars in the drifting community for those who can afford more bang for their buck. The BMW Z4 is just one of the many vehicles that excel in the racing scene in a wide variety of races; the Z4 comes out of the box with a substantial three-hundred-plus horsepower and can outperform most cars in its class.
When appropriately tuned for drifting, the Z4 can hug a turn beautifully, and players will have no trouble controlling the chaos thanks to its responsiveness.
4 Nissan 370z
The Nissan line of vehicles is synonymous with street racing, having even made appearances in the Fast and Furious movie franchise. Ever since the compact speedster was released, it has been a go-to for many racing enthusiasts both in and out of The Crew 2 video game; however, the Nissan 370z was a fan favorite for some time before it appeared in films and is a modern marvel of mechanical engineering. Players letting the 370z out of its cage will be surprised at how well it handles itself on a slippery slope.
3 350z Fosberg
The 350z Forsberg is a pre-designed car available in The Crew 2 as a bonus vehicle that must be purchased. The design of the Forsberg is a sleek and compact roadster that is great for a multitude of race types but can glide along the street with grace and poise.
Covered in sponsorship stickers, the Forsberg is pulled directly from the official circuit and dropped inside the game with high-performance stats around the board. While the Forsberg is locked behind a digital content purchase, some players may find it worth it to be a cut above the competition.
2 BMW M5
BMWs are incredibly well-put-together vehicles that excel in appearance and ability. Amongst the long line of cars available from BMW, the M5 stands out as a budget-friendly purchase that can make a significant impact in the game.
With the vast array of visual and performance-based upgrades available for the M5, players will have a great time expertly tuning this vehicle precisely for their needs. In addition, the M5 is also a very affordable option, great for an upgrade, and is ideal for newcomers who want access to one of the best drift cars early on.
1 Mazda RX7
Among avid drift fans, the Mazda RX7 is a classic among drift legends, having had a dominant position among car lovers all over the world. The RX7 is highly regarded as one of the greatest cars ever built, specifically by those in the street racing scene.
The fame of the RX7 rises similarly to that of the Skyline thanks to its appearances in several mediums such as the racing manga and anime Initial D. When it comes to drifting, the RX7 will outperform most cars in and above its class as it is one of the most responsive vehicles in the game.
The Crew 2 is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
