    Unlocking the cars
    First, the new cars need to be unlocked for use in multiplayer. This is done by completing Speedlist events in Exotic cars. Winning is not required, and can be done in public or private games. A Speedlist consists of 5 events, so this can be done after playing 5 Speedlists. The requirements for each car are as follows:

    Pagani Zonda R - Automatically Available
    Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse - Complete 6 events in Exotics.
    Lamborghini Aventador J - Complete 12 events in Exotics.
    Mclaren F1 LM - Complete 18 events in Exotics.
    Hennesey Venom GT Spyder - Complete 24 events in Exotics.

    If you're doing it in a friends game, a quick method is to create a custom Speedlist and selecting the "Arch Angels" challenge 5 times. It's a Park Up event, and it takes place the same place as the meetup. Because of this, you can sit in one spot the entire Speedlist and complete all 5 events without any effort. The event takes about 30 seconds each time.

    Unlocking the license plate
    The 'Ultimate Fan' license plate is unlocked by unlocking all Standard Mods on all 5 of the Ultimate Speed Pack cars in multiplayer. This can be a bit of a grind because it involves driving 200 miles in each car. All mods can be unlocked in a private game by yourself, with the exception of Impact Protection, which requires 10 takedowns. The requirements for unlocking mods are unchanged in the DLC, and are as follows:

    Tires
    Off-Road - Jump 1,500 yards with Reinforced Chassis equipped.
    Track - Drive 25 miles.
    Reinflates - Drive 50 miles.

    Nitrous
    Burn - Free
    Powershot - Drive 100 miles.

    Chassis
    Lightweight - Get 60 Near Misses with Short Gears equipped.
    Reinforced - Drive 200 miles.

    Body
    Aero - Drive 5 miles.
    Impact Protection - Get 10 takedowns with Powershot equipped.

    Transmission
    Long Gears - Drift 5,000 yards with Track Tires equipped.
    Short Gears - Drive 10 miles

    Once 'Ultimate Fan' is unlocked, choose that as your license plate. Find another player and score a takedown to unlock the achievement.

    For driving 200 miles, you can start a drift in a big open area like the airfield, then rubber band/tape your controller and increase your driving distance while you do something else. Be sure to have at least reinflates equipped because your tires are prone to popping. Donuts work too, but will obviously be slower. Also note, if you're using a wireless controller it'll still disconnect after a few minutes of inactivity.

    Another thing to keep in mind when driving 200 miles, is the game rarely auto-saves when playing a multiplayer game on your own. Be sure to quit to single player once in awhile and wait to see the auto-save icon so that progress won't be lost if you disconnect or turn off your console.

    JEAN5This glitched for me - it was the McLaren and Lamborghini that would not unlock the motorhead license plates. After searching for an answer found a post where if you get to level 71 and concours you have another chance. I tried it and unlocked all mods on the cars as they became available focusing on the two that caused the problem. It takes awhile as you start over in mp, but it worked. Just a note, I did not use the automatic takedown mod as this may have been part of the glitch.

    darkavenger786You can drive the entire length of the highway for the 200 miles. The highway is around 13.5 miles long and takes 3-5 mins to do a whole lap so it shouldn't take you too long to get the 200 miles plus, it can be done in private MP.

    LuckyKantI have been driving off the cliff at the right hand side of the airfield and putting a band on my controller. 70mph. Idling.

    Monkeyman1188I found driving round the interstate is 13.3 miles.
    Others state 13.5 and 13.6, I suppose it doesn't matter. But I truly believe that's the fastest way to get 200 miles, especially when you need to jump 1500 yards, get 60 near misses, drift 5000 yards etc to unlock some of the mods, you can do those while still driving for the 200 miles. I've been doing it for weeks now, for 5-6 of the add on achievements.
    Just need take downs for the last mod for all but 3 cars, (still driving 200 m on 3 cars)
    If you also need takedowns, give me a shout and we can make s game for anyone who needs them.
