Can Automatic Transmission Cars Drift?

[DelRicardo]

Automatic transmission cars can drift. There are two methods for drifting: gear drifting and handbrake drifting. As long as there is a handbrake, drifting is possible, and a manual-automatic transmission can also achieve gear drifting. 1. Other methods for drifting: (1) Brake drifting. (2) Power drifting. 2. Automatic Transmission: Cars that generally use an automatic transmission (AT) to adjust speed rely on the control system of the automatic transmission to automatically select the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear shifting. 3. Introduction: Automatic transmission cars usually use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, hence there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. When the gear lever is placed in the forward gear and the brake pedal is released, as the throttle is increased and the engine speed rises, the transmitted torque increases, pushing the car forward.
