No car in the game can go offroad as the game uses blocking volume to keep players on the track. This also prevents players from cheating by taking shortcuts in events. Racers can be arrested by police on open road tracks. If a racer gets caught he gets a ticket. When a racer receives three tickets (two tickets in the Sega Saturn version) they are arrested.

Nine cars are available in the game including a secret tenth car: a black Lamborghini Diablo, a red Ferrari 512TR, a dark green Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, a silver Acura NSX, a dark blue Porsche 911 Carrera (964), a royal blue Dodge Viper RT/10, a yellow Mazda RX-7 (FD3S), a red Toyota Supra Turbo, and the secret car, the purple, silver, and green "Warrior PTO E/2". It is a fictional car with an interior that has parts from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 and Lamborghini Diablo, a digital speedometer, 800 hp, and had performance similar to today's Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. The police car in the game that chases the player is a Ford Mustang LX 5.0.
