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
| Opal White
| Silverstone Metallic
| Green Black Pearl
| Moon Raker Black Metallic
| Formula Red Pearl
| Pearl Gold
| Crimson Starmist
| Macao Yellow
| Midas Yellow Pearl
| Cooper Green Metallic
| British Racing Green
| Cobalt Blue
| Space Blue Pearl
| Raspberry Metallic

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
