This engine powered the game’s signature "Highway Battle" mode, where players dodged dense traffic at speeds exceeding 180 mph. The physics were tuned to be extremely "grippy," allowing for high-speed precision that would be impossible in a more realistic racer.

To emphasize the "heroic" feel, the camera angle was fixed to automatically follow the action through intense spins and quick turns, ensuring you never lost sight of the road during a stunt. Integration with the "Wheelman" System
