Blueprint

Blueprints are a game element introduced in Asphalt Streetstorm and brought over to Asphalt 8: Airborne. It gives the option of obtaining cars without directly purchasing it.

Asphalt Streetstorm
Blueprints are only obtainable through Gift Boxes with each box type having its own pool of car blueprints.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
Introduced in the Car Blueprints Update, a maximum of 3 blueprints are purchasable at any time from Exclusive Deals or obtained randomly from Pro Boxes. The blueprint depicts a car in front view with the left half of it (where the right headlight is) in a partial wireframe, similar to the promotional ads for the Research & Development events. As with any other card, Blueprints are distributed randomly, independent of whether a card is useful or not: for instance a BP card can be obtained, even if the player already has the car.

When selecting a Blueprint car in the garage, the top left corner of the screen gains a purple technological background, this design will overwrite the blue circuitry background of Elite Cars.

When a sufficient number of Blueprints have been obtained, the car can be built for free but a waiting period will be imposed unless Tokens are paid. The waiting period depends on the car and its BP card rarity (for instance, the Sbarro Sparta takes 16 Rare Sbarro Sparta BP cards to be assembled, after which 5 hours must pass until the car is fully ready to be used). During the waiting period, the wireframe pattern will run across the car, even when viewing it in the garage or accessing the "Car Paint" tab. When the car has been completed, the garage will be briefly be covered in the purple technological pattern with new camera angles that differ from when a car is obtained.
