Improvements include a new difficulty level, the ability to freely customize controls, the introduction of weather, and actual pictures of various models of Lamborghini with their names displayed before the demo screen.

To challenge these modes, the game features eight vehicles resembling real supercars: the two default cars, representing the Lamborghini Diablo and the Lamborghini Countach; and six unlockable cars won by beating the six configurations of championships, representing the Porsche 959, the Ferrari F50, the Ferrari Testarossa, the Dodge Viper, the McLaren F1, and the Bugatti EB110.

Though Next Generation, GameSpot, and Electronic Gaming Monthly all praised the handling as realistic, tight, and easy to learn,[3][5][8] GamePro, IGN's Peer Schneider, and The Electric Playground's Victor Lucas contended that the controls are overly touchy and difficult to master.

The reviewer concluded the game to be flawed and lacking in originality, and recommended players instead get San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing.

[9] Though praising almost every aspect of the game, Next Generation concluded that "It really needs a better sense of speed and more tension, or at least some unique element besides its dream-car license to set it apart.

[5][6][4] Schneider assessed that "although there are a few obvious faults in the game, this sequel to the Euro-hit Lamborghini American Challenge for the Super NES does a decent job at bringing street racing home.
