Can Front-Wheel Drive Cars Drift?

[ORiley]

Front-wheel drive vehicles can definitely drift. Although rear-wheel drive vehicles are relatively easier to generate drifting effects, whether a vehicle can drift is not solely determined by its driving mode. Rear-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and front-wheel drive vehicles may or may not drift. Most of the movies, TV works, and racing drift competitions we see use high-torque and high-power rear-wheel drive vehicles. It can be seen that rear-wheel drive has more advantages in terms of drifting performance. The pendulum effect generated in moose tests or high-speed quick steering avoidance can also cause front-wheel drive vehicles to drift, but this controllability and continuity are usually incomparable to professional drift vehicles. However, if the road's friction coefficient is reduced and the vehicle's starting speed is low, pulling the handbrake to lock the rear wheels or tilt steering is more likely to damage the vehicle's center of gravity and make the vehicle appear to slide horizontally. When sliding, with proper throttle control and reverse adjustment, front-wheel drive can perform more beautiful continuous drifting actions. But begging for ice and snow is clearly a luxury for friends in the south. Later, someone invented simple rings and other things and placed them outside the tires. This material is very wear-resistant and has a much lower friction coefficient than tires. Installed on the rear wheels, the front wheels still have good grip, while the rear wheels' adhesion is greatly reduced. Therefore, front-wheel drive small-displacement economy cars have become front-wheel drive drift cars without any other modifications. Moreover, without the expensive financial threshold brought by modified racing cars, ordinary family cars can perform various amazing drifting actions. In many entertainment activities, more participants can experience the fun of car drifting.
