- Map layout closer to the reference: no mountain or tunnel north of the prison, rolling forest hills instead
- New Village Road from the prison junction east over the creek bridge to the village, which moved east by the river
- The highway now curves north-east to the village; more cars parked in the city, village, prison and depot
- Driving UI: round key buttons (lights, siren / roof / bounce, nitro, horn, flip, exit, brake, gas) you can also click
- Speedometer with car name, nitro bar and trip distance; Q nitro with flames and a speed boost
- New centre messages in a blue box, red for warnings (like 'Slow down to flip your vehicle')
