Yes, You Can Actually Drift A Nissan Leaf
Matt Prior from Autocar thought he see if it's possible to drift the electric Nissan Leaf without using a handbrake, and it will indeed go sideways - providing you make a suitable rear tyre swap first...
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I didn’t need plastic tires on my 206..
Did you hear any engines revving? Nope…
Did you hear any tyres screaming? Nope…
Did you see any tyres smoking? Nope…
I’m not sure this is drifting…
The definition of drifting is slightly different, still that wasnt quite drifting. Getting sideways before the corner starts is drifting. That hasn’t to do anything with engines revving.
Electric motor? Plastic Tyres?
Thats like drifting with RC-Cars…
Anyone else used to put plastic McDonald’s trays under the rear tyres of their first car? Or metal baking trays for sparks 😂
Why didn’t you put a bunch of leaves in the back tyres, I mean Apart from the issue of having them stick on, they would be pretty the same as plastic
you can even drift a golf cart as long as you have crappy tyres
the nismo version should have been the damn race car so some idiots would put duct tape to their mouths
Its a POWERslide
Mitsubishi Mirage. I’d love to see that
