Any game set in a modern or futuristic setting has to include cars. It’s the expected form of traveling in such games and makes sense naturally for vehicles to be driven around the game’s city. Cyberpunk 2077 is such a game, set mainly in a futuristic city, with different ways to travel, such as via the use of cybernetics, or the metro. However, vehicles are the main way to explore Night City, with a plethora to choose from.

When choosing the perfect ride in Cyberpunk 2077, Quadra has plenty of options. But which ones have the best style?
Despite this, various mods impact the driving of different vehicles. The game’s driving has been criticized heavily, and mods are a surefire way to change this. Some mods edit the driving to be more acceptable, less frustrating, and more normal to how cars behave, and other mods change the core driving gameplay in interesting ways.
1
CoolCam – Immersive Vehicle Cameras
A Mod Offering Different Third-Person Cameras
Cyberpunk 2077 has different camera angles when driving vehicles. Fans can either play in first person or third person when cruising around Night City.
The CoolCam mod offers even more camera angles than what the game already provides. CoolCam can work with every vehicle but is mainly meant for use in conjunction with bikes. These camera angles range from extremely close to the player, to quite far away to give an increased perspective. Other additional bits come with the mod, such as an idle view for the camera angles, among others.

Better Vehicle First Person
Configure The Perfect First Person Camera Angle
The default Cyberpunk 2077 first-person vehicle camera angles can be obtrusive and awkward. Better Vehicle First Person doesn’t limit the camera angles to resemble what it’s like in the base game, offering differences when driving.
The Better Vehicle First Person mod allows players to configure their perfect first-person camera angle. The camera angle can be moved around to wherever the player wants it to be, with the ability to save their preference per vehicle, allowing for a better driving experience when the perfect angle gets found.

Drive Carefully
A Way To Make The Driving Experience Different
Night City is a city full of crime and carnage. It would fit the locale for V to speed down roads without a car in the world, but the Drive Carefully mod changes this dynamic.
This mod enforces penalties upon the player whenever they commit dangerous driving. Penalties are only brought on the player if they collide with other vehicles, not for speeding, for example. Most open-world games with cars allow players to zoom down roads with impunity. However, the Drive Carefully mod will take payment from the player if they hit another car, with the cost changing depending on the type of collision, significantly altering the driving gameplay.

Cyber Drift
Drift More Fluidly Around Night City
Night City seems like the type of city where people, specifically gang members, would try to drift all the time. The Cyber Drift mod allows players to drive around the city while drifting to their heart’s content.
Drifting has been changed, so players can drift smoothly. Among these changes, it is easier to begin drifts, and drifts can be executed for a longer period. The mod enables the use of different drifts, such as with the handbrake, clutch kick, or a Scandinavian Flick, allowing petrolheads to drift more fluidly around Night City.
5
Better Bike Overhaul
A Mod That Improves Bike Driving
Cyberpunk 2077 may have more options to offer when it comes to cars, but bikes are an extremely convenient and fun way to travel through Night City. The Better Bike Overhaul mod aims to make bikes even better by improving their driving.

The mod changes bike handling, friction, gearboxes, and engines, as well as wheelies. Bikes can turn more so than in the base game, and fishtailing no longer happens as frequently as it does in the game. The edits have been applied to the three main bike types, meaning players can pick up a bike and cruise away with the modded changes.

Better Vehicle Handling
A Simple Mod To Improve Vehicle Handling
As would be natural, different cars in Cyberpunk 2077 have different handling when driving. Some vehicles have adequate handling, but players expressed how the handling wasn’t the best when driving.
The Better Vehicle Handling mod aims to sort this out by alleviating the handling of cars and bikes. Vehicles now have more natural handling that fits the advanced cars of 2077. The installation is also very easy to do, making for a great driving mod.
7
Cyber Vehicle Overhaul
An Overhaul To The Vehicles Of Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 has a vast range of different vehicles, of which the gameplay left a lot of players unsatisfied. Phantom Liberty fixed these grievances, but mods can further improve the driving gameplay to even greater heights.
