Tips
  • Initiating a police pursuit and performing a Demolition Donut Derby on a six-lane freeway is an effective way to build SP.
  • Drift 180 degrees to build Nitrous, then use it to boost and smash pursuing cops.
  • Confusing cops in a small area increases the chance of them being stationary, making takedowns easier.
  • Heat Level 5 is easiest as Interceptors are less armored and don't reverse well.
  • For Most Wanted races, equip recommended car parts and upgrades like Burn Nitrous Pro for increased boost.
  • Consider off-road tires for races with significant off-road sections or dirtcuts.
  • For the Shelby Cobra 427 race, control acceleration in bursts to manage jumps and sharp turns.
  • For the Lexus LFA race, if off-road rating is important, use a car with good off-road capabilities.
  • For the McLaren MP4-12C race, RACE class cars have good acceleration, useful in sewer tunnels.
  • For the Lamborghini Aventador race, consider off-road tires for the first half and track tires for the second.
