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.
- The 470ds is the vehicle model inside the "lock crate," although it has subtle differences, like lack of detail and loss of both mirrors (to fit in the box, presumably).
