In Air Control: If you catch some huge air in the game, which is highly possible in the second city more than the first – you can hold the weight transfer button and pull off some insane flips, rolls and twists by pushing the left thumbstick – go on, you know you want to do it while humming the theme from James Bond.

Nitrous: You can have up to four tanks of speed-boosting madness installed on your car of choice. Press the button and you’ll have to pull your head out of the back seat.

Slipstream Turbo: If you get close enough to another racer’s rear you will see small trails of air, slipstreaming off the back of the car. You’ll see your slipstream meter start to build and when it starts flashing and sounding off, you can punch the nitrous button to gain a quick burst of speed and zip past.

Two Wheel Driving: Hold the weight transfer button and slam to the left or right, you’ll soon be on two wheels, denying anyone a slipstream turbo and looking cool while doing so.

Weight Transfer: On motorbikes you can wheelie, stoppie and lean hard left and right by using the weight transfer button.

Zone: Think of Zone as bullet-time driving, the world slows down and you become aware for a few moments of everything in your surroundings. You can execute insane turns and nip through narrow gaps at 200mph that would normally see you buried in a wall or someone’s rear bumper. Zone can only be used with import, exotic and sport bikes. Zone replenishes as you drive carefully, avoiding bumps and impacts.

Roar: When you drift successfully you charge the Roar meter, when it’s charged you can let loose a burst of sound that shoves opponent and civilian traffic out of the way, this move is useful for slamming your fellow racers into other cars or walls on a tight turn when you need a good lead. Only muscle cars and chopper bikes can use this special move.

Agro: When you ram into sidewalk clutter and traffic, you begin to charge the Agro meter. Once it’s charged you can activate it and become nearly unstoppable for a short time, your car stops taking damage and knocks other vehicles aside if they come into contact with it. Agro is only available to SUVs, trucks and luxury sedans.
