* {{Animesque}}: The series is fashioned to appear as a throwback to 1980s-90s racing anime, such as ''Manga/InitialD'', with liberal uses of Japanese writing. Even if one knew it was an ad, they would probably figure it was another visually elaborate one that comes out of Japan occasionally (Acura is a sub-brand of the Japanese auto company Honda, after all). However, it was produced by London-based studio The Line Animation.
