Lamborghini American Challenge will test your driving skills but you must also be good at handling money, as each race requires an entrance fee which increases along with the challenge. Money can be gained by placing bets, which in turn can be spent on helpful power-ups and parts to enhance your car’s performance. The races themselves take place in a variety of scenarios (mountain roads, the desert, urban settings) and they include weather conditions such as rain and snow.
At the end of each league, and in order to be able to join the next one, the player has to go through a “challenge”, consisting of a timed race in a highway infested with trucks. The objective of this game is to end up the undisputed champion of highly illegal street racing throughout the entire United States.
To do so, the player must race against a group of computer-controlled opponents in a variety of illegal races across the country. The races are divided into three leagues, each one with increasingly harder opponents, and the player needs to regularly upgrade their Lamborghini Diablo in order to keep them above the other racers, by using the American currency from bets as well as the bonuses earned by succeeding in the races in first place.
