Once the vehicle is destroyed you can find the Most Wanted car in parked in open world, like other drivable vehicles are, as well as being able to drive it using the EasyDrive menu. If you are again unable to destroy their vehicle they will again despawn and you will have to wait for them to spawn again. From my experience, they spawn about as frequently as Fairhaven's police cars. know if the tuned Corvette C6 that appears in the intro was an undercover FBI racer or a simple plainclothes cop with a car of. The Most Wanted racer will randomly spawn in the open world and you will have another opportunity to take them down. If this happens, continue exploring/free roaming the in the open world. If you aren't able to take down the Most Wanted driver after the race they may manage to escape and disappear from your minimap. I usually set handling and steering to +1/+2 (depends on car). Third, I tended to fiddle only with the steering, handling, and turbo/supercharger sliders in performance settings. Take-downs work the same way as you would destroy a police vehicle or opposing racer in the game - slam into their vehicle hard enough to destroy it. Second, most/all of these tested cars have absolute maxed out performance, which means junkman parts included. After winning against a 'Most Wanted' driver in Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) they will drive away and you must 'take down' their vehicle to receive it as an award.
