Many race types
There are enough race types to keep any fan of street racing interested. Classic circuit racing is always there for you, as is drag racing, capitalising on performance customisation options. Three different Drift challenges are up for grabs: Drift Contest will have you accumulate the highest score, Drift Train makes you cooperatively drift alongside others, while Drift Trial requires beating a target score before the finish line.There are also Sprint races, Time Trials... something for everybody!
Police chases
The police watch every move you make, and if you step out of line they'll chase you until the end of days... or until you manage to break line of sight and stay hidden for long enough. The question is: can you? Are your driving skills good enough to help you avoid the law?
Performance progression and customisation
NFS has a robust progression system allowing you to tweak your machine to maximise its effectiveness in different challenges. Optimise it globally for drift or grip, or dig into detailed sliders and tailor the settings to your specific preferences. Tyre pressure, downforce, spring stiffness and more are there for you to customise.
Cosmetic customisation
Performance isn't everything. You can win the race, but what's the point if don't look cool while doing it? Pick bumpers, headlights, hoods and more, to shape your machine's body the way that suits your sense of cool. Add sound system, make you own license plate, add a paintjob... make your car truly your own, inside and out.
