This is a guide to help you get 100% achievements in FlatOut 4: Total Insanity. You will need one boosting partner for some online achievements, and it should take you around 30 hours for completion.
Career
Description: Beat a Time Trial in Career Mode.
How to Unlock: Complete any Time Trial event in Career Mode. This achievement will unlock naturally as you progress and aim for gold in all events.
Description: Complete your First Cup in Career Mode.
How to Unlock: Finish all races in any one Cup. This will likely be your first achievement in Career Mode as you work through the initial class (Derby, Classic, or AllStar).
Description: Complete Career Mode.
How to Unlock: To unlock this achievement, you need to earn gold in all events across the three Career Mode classes: Derby, Classic, and AllStar. Each class consists of 8 Cups, 4 Time Trials, and 4 Arena Survivors. In total, you will need to earn gold in 48 Cups, 12 Time Trials, and 12 Arena Survivors.
Tips for Completion: For Cups, it is recommended to use Chevrolet cars for better stability or the 1969 Ford if you prefer speed. In Arena Survivors, focus on causing as much destruction as possible to maximize your points. Time Trials can be challenging, so you may find this video (not mine) helpful for tips on achieving gold.
Description: Finish consecutively 10 times on the podium in Career Mode.
How to Unlock: To achieve this, you need to finish in the top three positions 10 times in a row. This applies only to Cup races, not Time Trials or Arena events. You can repeat the same easy Cup if needed. If you’re about to finish outside the top three, hit pause and restart the race. I have personally unlocked it using the 1969 Ford of the AllStar class.
Description: Upgrade a car once.
How to Unlock: This will unlock automatically while working toward the Paint Shop or the Hot Rod achievements.
Description: Get all available skins for a Derby car.

Description: Upgrade an AllStar car to the maximum.
How to Unlock: To unlock this achievement, you need to buy an AllStar car and upgrade all six categories to the maximum in your garage under “Upgrades”. Fully upgrading an AllStar car will cost approximately 100,000 cash.

How to Unlock: This will unlock naturally while aiming for the Jay will be Proud! achievement.
Description: Earn 123,456 cash in Career Mode.
How to Unlock: This will unlock naturally while aiming for the Jay will be Proud! achievement. FYI, The total cash earned since starting the game counts, so you don’t need this amount at one time.
Description: Purchase all cars in the game.
How to Unlock: To achieve this, you need to buy all 9 Derby cars, 9 Classic cars, and 11 AllStar cars. You will need approximately 1,000,000 cash to purchase all cars. It is recommended to fully upgrade an AllStar car first to make grinding easier. The easiest way to grind cash is by following this guide (not mine).

How to Unlock: Replay Carnage levels in FlatOut Mode until you achieve the required score. Focus on destroying as many opponents as possible during a single race. Good options include “NW Loop 8B” or “ICP Corrosive Liquids Storage” Carnage races.
Multiplayer

Description: Keep the flag for 66 seconds in Keep the Flag mode.
How to Unlock: This achievement is nearly impossible in solo mode with bots. Grinding it with a boosting partner in a 5-minute Keep the Flag match is highly recommended.
