==Gameplay== The game contains three main gameplay modes. The "Career" mode allows the player to unlock tracks, cars and upgrades. In "Free Play", the player can play with previously unlocked tracks and vehicles. The "Multiplayer" mode gives the player the ability to play against others online. The game includes 52 licensed cars, 20 career classes and 15 race tracks from the Android version of ''[[Asphalt 6: Adrenaline]]'', similar to ''Asphalt 3D'' which has 17 tracks from the Android version of ''[[Asphalt 5]]''. The Android version was released exclusively for Lenovo K860, which had two exclusive cars, each of which closely resembled the Audi R8 and the Ferrari Enzo.
