Texture Sheet
Note, the game uses 16 separate palettes of 16 colours to correctly show the car for each colour it is available in. These images show only the first & second palette of the first colour since I don't know how to map the correct palette to the correct part of the image.
Base Colours: 14
| Satin Silver
| Candy White
| Diamond Black
| Black
| Futura Yellow
| Flash Red
| Tropic Orange

Power upgrades are multiplicative when stacked. For instance, if a car has a Turbo which adds 40HP from stock and an Intercooler which adds 20HP then upgrading both will add more than 60 to the car's HP. An app to model cumulative upgrades is available here
