He is only playable in High Speed Heist, except in the PSP version, where he is playable in all events. There also are known to be Mods that make him playable in all events on normal versions.

Trivia
- Boost is the only known car in the series to permanently have purple eyes, the only other such cars (Bashman, Clarkson, and Medford) all have blue eyes in their respective Xbox 360 appearances. Boost is also the only known car to have purple eyes and not be an NPC Piston Cup Racer.
- In the end scene of Rustbucket Race-O-Rama, Lightning is shown to receive a boost tank exactly like that of Boost by Mater for having defeated Tommy Joe and Co. in the race.
- Boost's livery varies by appearance, in Cars: The Video Game and the movie, he was mostly gray, but in Cars 2: The Video Game and on diecasts, he is purple with black areas.
- Although Boost's body is meant to always glow at night, the only appearance where it ever does is the Xbox 360 version of Cars: The Video Game. This also applies with the other DRH.
