How to unlock the Hypersonic achievement in Mafia II - Definitive Guide

After you've completed the Supermarket mission, two side missions for Rocco will show up. Go start the leftmost one (right in the south section of the map), entitled Bet on That.

For the first part of the mission you follow the guy on foot, then in a car. When you get to the place where he stops, kill all the enemies then grab his car, a Delizia Grandeamerica. Go to the safe zone to finish the mission.

Now for the actual achievement. First and foremost, upgrade the car to level 3. Next you'll have to start a mission so you can actually gain points - I would suggest one close to the highway, like Wheels of Evidence. As a bonus, if you die/screw up the car, you'll go back to the checkpoint right before starting the mission so you can quickly try again.

Once this is done, head to the start of the highway close to the big bridge and start driving down the long straight road along the river. Now it's a simple matter of gunning it, go as fast as you can and stay in the middle of the road (you can honk the horn to get cars out of your way). You may have to go around the first turn but just slow down a little bit and you should be fine.

You should get 2000 points during this corner, after that slow down to stop and when the points register you'll get the achievement.

Perfect, first try! That solution for going over the bridge is way too hard, this is by far the easiest, thanks!

For those of you who either bought or had the Renegade Pack included with their copy, I thought I might just point out that the Potomac Elysium can also be used for this solution, provided you upgrade it to level 3.

@MattyJWest thanks for the tip

i got this with potomac elysium on my first try. i just didn't want to replay this boring mission to get delizia and decided to try potomac first, since i had this in my garage already.

It's not possible to survive the run. Start cramming the brakes around 1900 and hope that you fall below 70 MPH to make it count before the inevitable insta-death when you crash into something. I died six times in a row after hitting 2000 and on the seventh run I died immediately after falling back below 70 MPH to get the achievement.

The freeway scenario works.

I just wanted to post that it is possible to get, I believe the updates to the game made it harder. I had to keep going through the curve (most videos I have seen the player hits 2000 before the curve). The car is nearly impossible to maneuver at the speed it is at. Just keep trying, and if you get frustrated, put the game away and go kill zombies or something. wink

This is apparently harder than it originally was, it took me several attempts in the fully upgraded Delizia Grandeamerica and had to make it past two curves on the highway. It helps to slightly "bank" off the walls to navigate the turns without flying off the road at speed.

If you crash into anything like the ridiculous amount of npc traffic in this garbage game: you loseall the points. I would recommend starting to slowdown at around 1900ish so that you can avoid this, you will continue to earn points for a bit as you decelerate

The Potomac Elysium isn't a very good option for this achievement, in my opinion.

The "Velocity" bonus and "Insanity" bonus are two different bonuses, which are based on the top speeds of the cars. Points for "Insanity" accumulate much slower, for some odd reason. So when driving the Elysium, you can be going slower than the DG and still be gathering points much slower. You can travel much faster in the DG before it hits the "Insanity" threshold, in which points towards "Velocity" roll in exponentially faster.

I tried doing this in the Elysium before I had unlocked the DG mission, and made almost a full circle around the highway before getting close to 2000 points, and still failing because of poor handling (ran through a guardrail off the highway.)

The DG is by far the best option for this, because you'll receive the car through normal game progression, and is insanely fast. As Radiant Viper mentioned, you can get 2000 points in just the easternmost straightaway on the main island no problem.

This mission is just awful. Every guy in the vicinity will start attacking me when I kill the first target... I barely survived my first playthrough, now I have to somehow get the car at the same time.

Hello everyone this video is NOT mine, but in my opinion the easiest way to achieve the goal (remember to start a mission) I hope I have helped

You will have to attempt this while a scored mission is active in order to start accruing velocity points. Make sure that you have a fast car, preferably with a supercharger. If you've gotten the mission "Bet On That", the bookie drives a Delizia Grandeamerica you can steal at the end of the mission. New to Joe's Adventures, it has a top speed of 169 mph before adding any tuning upgrades thus making it the fastest non-premium DLC car I've seen so far. Start at the offramp at the east end of the Grand Upper Bridge and follow the long straightaway that leads to the freeway. The faster you go, the faster you'll gain points. Try not to hit anything but as long as you don't slow down below 70 mph, you'll continue to gain points. Just like with Cruise Control, you can honk your horn to cause most traffic to pull out of your way. Obviously this will not work for police cars. The only tricky part is manoeuvring around the turn at the end of the straightaway where you can't see the traffic you're coming up on but after that you should be fine. Avoid impacts and you'll gain 2000 points easily by the end of the route shown, and the trophy will be yours.

For a long time I couldn’t get the trophy according to the indicated hint, there were always a lot of cars on the road and I couldn’t avoid crashing!.. But a miracle happened:

during the mission “Place your bets”, after dealing with the bookmaker and his goons, he took the car in which he arrived there, Delizia Grande America (only met in this mission). Its characteristics are simply killer + all three upgrades are a demon 8) Alas, the car is less controllable at high speeds, but it reaches 100 mph in 6-7 seconds. We start the Highway racing mission and drive it to 4 checkpoints. And then... it's a matter of seconds!) 1700 scored up to 5 checkpoints.

1 - Take a Delizia Grande America car (the faster the better).
2 - Take the task “Bomb under the seat” (it is closest to the desired road, and if it doesn’t work out, it will be faster to repeat).
3 - we go onto a straight road (along the coast, from north to south) and drive.
On the Delizia Grande America - 2000 it runs up after a turn where you just have to not get killed.
In other words, you need to drive in a straight line and that’s it.

I did it by accident, gaining 9k run points when I made a jumping trophy through a glitch.
Don't torture yourself - use the glitch right away.

You don't have to worry too much about this trophy. While I was making Jacked Jumper using a glitch at Stayer's prompt ( Video Guide ), I also got Hypersonic .
