Unlocking all tracks and cars
Fast cops
New cars and tracks (pre-installed sets, ability to add your own)

How to install: Run the installer and select the desired options. Install only on a clean game! It is also important that it is registered in your registry, since the installer finds the folder itself. Therefore, it is better to install a full original version rather than one from compilations.
Some nuances:
Default installation is recommended + the patches you need for Windows and processors, as well as 3Dfx
For online play, check: IPLounge 4.08
To view intro movies: Enable Movies
To play in 3Dfx mode: nGlide (recommended) in the Glide Wrapper menu (after installation, configure it via the Start menu)
Faster cops: the Hot Pursuit Cars Add-on item
