Trivia

 * Ascent is a climb or walk to the summit of a mountain or hill or an instance of rising through the air, which is a reference to the car's fast specifications.
 * In the game's introduction, the Ascent 470ds is depicted often. However, instead of its default white color, it features yellow as its main color. This leads the players to think that this is either a simple change in color, or perhaps an earlier version of this car.
 * The main sponsor of the cars is GReddy.
