Abstract: A vehicle system and method for a vehicle implements a drift mode to vehicle wheels for creating a drift. A motor provides drive torque to at least one wheel of the vehicle wheels for propelling the vehicle. A steering wheel communicates a steering wheel signal indicative of a direction intended for the vehicle to travel. An instrument panel cluster displays a user interface menu that includes a user selectable drift mode. The controller initiates a drift mode based on user selection of the drift mode. The controller determines whether vehicle conditions are satisfied and enables torque to be delivered from the motor to the left and right rear wheels. Speed differential is enabled between the front and rear wheels. Based on a direction of the steering wheel, a desired torque input is determined to one of the left and right rear wheels.
