Is it possible to "drift" with 4wd?

You can most definitely drift with an All-Wheel-Drive set up. However, you need really crappy tires or a slick surface and constantly be on power. If you just try to take a sharp turn going fast with good tires youre just going to under steer look like an idiot. It's not an easy task especially if your power split is 50/50 but it can be done given the right conditions.

"No" - Ken Block
Adrian Martin
"Yes" Ari Vatanen -a much better driver than Ken block
Oliver Miller
the point i was making that OP is stupid. of course Ari is better. I'm just referencing all the stupid gymkhana drift videos Ken Block does.
I want to know the kind of person OP is to ask such a dumb fucking question.
Robert Martin
Four wheel drives can pull off power slides (especially an STi due to the rear biased AWD system). They can also pull off inertia slides pretty well.
Having the 4WD system will make the task more challenging.
Jackson Bell
anythings possible with enough power
Juan Moore
Or a functioning handbrake and snow.
Aaron Carter
you can drift fwd if your balls are big enough

If you have power to the rear wheels that just becomes a whole lot easier.
Also WRC.
Andrew Morgan
nope.
Asher Cook
On the tarmac not really, but in gravel or snow, sure you can. Just do a scandinavian flick and don't countersteer, you can hold slides for a long time if you do it like this. That's assuming you have a proper AWD system, not that bullshit FWD pretending to be AWD that some VWs/Audis have.
Joshua King
Just drive it in reverse ;>

You mean GM, Ford?? If not, then explain these to me.

How could you so blindly say shit that's not true? You just sound like an angry retard. Audi has torsen except A3, TT, base models which are haldex
New models might be all haldex (except S/RS) which is sad but then again they're not sports cars so it doesn't necessarily matter

You just need to be a non-shitty driver.

There's more than one way to drift, you idiot.

>Scandinavian flick

>handbreak accompanied by Scandinavian flick or something else
>you can drift fwd
Left foot breaking and trail breaking hard enough to break grip can get FWD to drift.
>on tarmac not really
You just need to be going fast enough and not be a shit driver.

longitudinal = real awd at least for audi
traverse = meme wheel drive

When the hell did I say there was only one way to drift? "Idiot" Coming in here acting like you know absolutely everything about drifting. I simply said you can't just try kicking your rear end out at high speed and think you're going to go sideways dip shit.

Your logic is saying so long as you're not a "shitty driver", you can hop in an old ass NA subaru with like 70 HP and drift it the way it is? Dumbest shit I've ever heard. I would pay to see "a non-shitty driver" drift a pos with 70 HP and All Wheel Drive with a 50/50 split succesfully without ice or bald ass tires.
Brandon Anderson
I drift my NA Subaru shitbox around highway cloverleaves when it rains all the time. Helps that it has a rear LSD and a really short first and final drive to have it right on the power peak at a good speed to drift it at.

At the risk of sounding like a weeb there's something so charmy/funny about Japanese car presenters.

>press both a little of brake and gas at same time
>weight over the front wheels + rear brakes usually being weaker than the front's allows the rear wheels to spin
did this with my bro's awd jag x type
Benjamin Clark
The S1 has a haldex system that kind of resembles a torsen awd, atleast that's better than fwd soccer mom snow assist
