Downhill Destruction for BeamNG.drive

What this mod does

Downhill Destruction is a very easy map to get: a huge downhill road in the jungle where you send cars down at full speed to see how far they get and how they end up. It’s one of Spencer Johnson’s most popular destruction maps.

What’s included

• An eight-lane downhill run with bumpy ramps instead of perfect asphalt.
• Jungle setting with PBR materials and lighting.
• Since 2.0, a giant target to crash into.
• Better AI support, ideal for sending several cars down at once.
• Improved night sky and no more of the echo it used to have.

Who it’s for

If you enjoy high-speed crashes, downhill AI races or destruction videos, here’s a track built for exactly that. Players praise the sense of speed and the visuals. Some ask for a longer final straight, because certain cars can’t stop in time.

Version notes

Version 2.0, from May 2025, is a semi-remaster that repaired the broken textures. The mod page doesn’t list a game version; at that date the current one was 0.35. In June 2025 a player reported that textures were missing again on 0.36, and there’s been no update since.
