Car Mods Information

Hi Everyone,

I would like to make this information (that you can also find in this article) available here.

Need for Speed Most Wanted - Car Mods Information


There are 22 modifications that can be unlocked for each car, sorted into two categories: Standard and Pro.

There are five types of mods that can be equipped at the same time:

  • Tyres
  • Nitrous
  • Body
  • Chassis
  • Transmission

Standard mods have advantages and disadvantages, while Pro mods have no disadvantages. Standard mods are unlocked by earning 1st or 2nd place in events tied to each car. Pro mods can be unlocked by completing milestones with standard mods equipped.

Mod Type Name Description Milestones to unlock Pro
Tyres Track Better on-road handling plus lowered suspension 1000m total Drift
Tyres Off-road Better off-road handling plus raised suspension 1000m total Off-road
Tyres Reinflates Protection against spike-strips; burst tyres re-inflate after a short pause 10 Reinflates
Nitrous Nitrous Burn Burns nitrous slower and earns it faster 60sec Nitrous use
Nitrous Powershot Nitrous Alpha strikes all nitrous into a single accelerated blast 1000% Nitrous earned
Transmission Long Gears More powerful engine and an extra gear; better
acceleration and a higher top speed
1000m in Oncoming lane
Transmission Short Gears Super-quick gear change plus traction control 10 Near Misses
Chassis Lightweight Reduced weight for better acceleration and lighter steering 60sec Air Time
Chassis Reinforced Increased toughness to better soak attacks 10 Takedowns
Body Aero Reduced drag makes it easier to hit top speed; other cars can't slipstream you 60sec Slipstreaming
Body Impact Protection More downforce for better control at high speeds; makes you more stable during battles 10 Crash Escapes

  • You should also point out that this is for Singleplayer. Mods for online play differs from car to car, the later you unlock the car (except dlc cars) the tougher the challanges are to unlock parts and pro version for them. Not really sure, but I think it's even tougher once you've concoured.

  • Is the way to unlock the pro mods different on other platforms?

    On PC I'm pretty sure the pro mods unlock with the following

    Name                                                Milestones to unlock Pro

    Track                                                  1000m 5000 yards total Drift

    Off-road                                            1000m 5000 yards total Off-road

    Reinflates                                         10  5 Reinflates

    Nitrous Burn                                     60  300 sec Nitrous use

    Powershot Nitrous                          1000% 25 Powershot Nitrous used earned

    Long Gears                                      1000m 10000 yards in Oncoming lane

    Short Gears                                      10 25 Near Misses

    Lightweight                                       60sec Air Time

    Reinforced                                        10 Takedowns

    Aero                                                   60  120 sec Slipstreaming

    Impact Protection                            10  2 Crash Escapes

    I'm here to ask when we should expect a patch to fix the recent issues on ps3 since the update you released for the ultimate speed pack.Since the update alot of people have had issues freezing online during a speed list & getting corrupted game data (myself included).Me personally i'm not concerned with the offline game,however i am concerned with the fact that when i get online all mods,sweet revenge & paint jobs are removed from all vehicles.When i get in a car & put all mods ect. back on the car & change my car then change it back all mods ect. are removed again.This happens with all cars everytime.I have concerns also that it might have corrupted the online pass simply because i have other accts i have used on this game previous to the update & once my game messed up i checked my other accts.The ofline data was fine however the cars online are the same they won't keep any mods on them.As far as my other accts,i haven't been on them for 3 weeks prior to the update which is why i feel it's the online pass.It's the only explination i can come up with.
