How to unlock the Cosmic Smash achievement in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed - Definitive Guide
Very easy to obtain this achievement...
Select ''Custom Game'' at the main menu and connect a second controller and select ''Local''... Choose "Battle Arena" and "Neon Docks". Now with those settings enabled you will have no enemies to take the bonus boxes and more of a chance of getting the "Hot Rod".
As long as you hit A when the hot rod is shaking and smoking and just about to go into the red on it meter like Zarakai1989 said above, the achievement should pop and only take you a few minutes to get :-)
Alternatively just keep trying while playing through career.
Should be very easy. Wait until the gauge on the hot rod is just at the explosion point at red. It should also start making a noise and then hit the button.
This can be annoying if you don't know what second you need to detonate before it explodes. Look at the Hot Rod meter that will be attached to your vehicle and watch the timer go down to the red area. Hit then. If it doesn't unlock, try again but wait even further this time then hit . You don't have to hit an opponent to unlock this.
