Trivia

 * This is the first update of the game to officially include Porsche cars.
 * This is also the first time that Porsche is actually featured in an Asphalt game as opposed to Porsche-based vehicles like the 9FF GT9 VMAX, Rinspeed zaZen, and the RUF cars. This is due to Electronic Arts' exclusive contract with Porsche which expired in December 2016, allowing their cars to be used in games other than Need for Speed and Real Racing 3.
 * This update is the second update to add cars from just one manufacturer, after the Decals Update back in March 2015, which added five Ferrari cars: the 330 P4, 612 Scaglietti, Enzo Ferrari, F40, and F50.
 * This is the 3rd update to not add any new Class S cars.
 * This is also the first update to include a new Championship that doesn't involve a McLaren car.
