How to unlock the Throwback achievement in Rocket League - Definitive Guide
To unlock this achievement you first need to unlock the Accelerato Boost then play a game on the Utopia Coliseum using one of the original battle-cars Octane, Zippy, Backfire or Scarab.
Fastest way to do this is to create an Exhibition Match and select Utopia Coliseum as the Arena and once the game starts hold down then press to boost and this achievement will pop.
*Item unlocks are random so the Accelerato boost could be one of the first items you unlock or possible one of the last just keep playing games to unlock an item each time.
*To check if you have unlocked the Accelerato boost check in the garage menu under the Rocket Trails section.

Before attempting this achievement both the Accelerato and one of the original battle-cars must be unlocked which are: Octane, Zippy, Scarab and Backfire. These will all have unlocked by playing enough matches.
Once the car and the accelerato boost trail have been equipped, the match must be set up. This can be done by chance with this set-up however it'd be easier to set the game up yourself.
Go to Exhibition match and set the map to Utopia Coliseum - as this has been proved to work. You can also remove the mutators and remove bots to make life easier.
Once this has been set up, simply start the game and boost ( + ).
The achievement didn't pop for me until a goal was scored so give it a minute to unlock. If it doesn't, check your car configuration.
Check out this video for an explanation and demonstration of how to unlock the achievement.

I figured this out from the comments on some of the other solutions, but I wanted to get this front and center as the game has changed a lot since launch and many of the solutions aren't quite accurate.
I unlocked this by boosting on the Urban Central arena with the Octane vehicle and the Standard boost equipped. The accelerato boost is no longer required.

Thanks man! Thumbs up, nothing was working for me... but I did use the Accelerato boost and it pop up like 2 minutes after the match end.

Before you get this achievement you need to unlock the accelerato boost. you also need to play with one of the original battle cars ZIPPY, OCTANE, SCARAB, and the BACKFIRE,
You also need to play on the arena utopia coliseum to unlock this.
So the way I did this was I unlocked the accelerato boost the second to last boost that I needed to unlock and I equipped the boost and I went on a online game it was just luck that I was on that track so when I pressed boost it unlocked for me.
or there is a easy way to do this so go to exibition match then change the arena to utopia coliseum, you can also remove the bots to make the match easier.
The accelerato boost could be one of the last or the first things you unlock but it was one of the last for me, so don't hope your going to get it first because this could happen, and remember to check if you have unlocked the accelerato boost in the rocket trails section.

Hey guys, I used octane battle-car in the normal Urban Central with accelerato boost equipped from menu and unlocked as soon as i used the boost in the match. can be done in a exb. Match
Put the Standard or Accelerato Boost on Octane or Backfire, then use the boost in Urban Central. If you're new to the game, you'll probably only have the standard boost. Simple enough.
The Accelerato Boost is a type of Rocket Trail that will unlock with progression and it looks like music notes. Once you unlock the Accelerato Boost, equip it to either the Scarab or Zippy from the Garage and begin an Exhibition match on the Utopia Coliseum Arena. Upon entering the match, press to activate your boost and the Achievement will unlock.

We choose one of the new cars (Scarab or Zippy) and select the nitro Acselerato. In exabition we put the Utopia Colosseum arena. We use nitro and immediately get the trophy

In new versions you need to take Octaine or Backfire cars and take the City Center arena

The new version of the game says: "Use a standard accelerator or Accelerato with Octane or Backfire in the Urban Central arena."
