== VIP System ==
== Music ==
Asphalt Nitro has 3 songs (2 songs in old concept): One for the main menu and an additional two for races (only one song in old concept). They are Gameloft original songs. However, Chemistry / DJ Gontran, from Asphalt 8: Airborne, was used in the old trailer. The new trailer uses a composed soundtrack. The main menu song is made by DJ Zephyr as Known As Anthony Dominguez Flores.
== Trivia ==
* The first teaser trailer was released in April 29, 2015.
* The Career Mode doesn't reference old Asphalt titles.
* The only social network that is allowed to connect to the game on Gameloft Store version is Facebook. On Google Play Store version, the social networks that are allowed to connect to the game are Facebook and Google Play Games.
* The claimed 35 MB tiny size of Asphalt Nitro can actually become 181 MB when the game is installed. This can even expand to 200+ MB.
** However, the installed game size is still significantly smaller compared to 2+ GB required in Asphalt 8. Also, it is worth noting that the game's initial footprint only refers to the APK itself, not accounting for any caches or configuration files it copies to the device's storage.
* Asphalt Nitro had a heavy overhaul on November 2015, including a release in the Play Store for free, the addition of the VIP systems, and increasing the max limits on cars in a class to more than five.
** The VIP system would eventually be carried over to Asphalt 8: Airborne in the Rio Update.
* Two cars were changed between Asphalt 8 and Asphalt Nitro:
** The Ford Shelby GT500 used in the game is now the 2013 version instead of the 2010 version.
** The Jaguar F-Type R used in the game is the coupe AWD model instead of the convertible model.
* From Update 1 onwards, there is a Daily Rewards system similar to Asphalt 8: Airborne's Daily Bonus but with more rewards each day. On the 90th day, a Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning is awarded.
** A similar system would also eventually be carried over to Asphalt 8: Airborne in the Rio Update also.
* A Java J2ME version of Asphalt Nitro exists as well, blending the gameplay of the Android version of the game with graphical fidelity and certain gameplay elements of older Asphalt titles such as the Wanted meter (one of elements from older Asphalt games). Additionally, the track features a location, Japan (loosely based on Tokyo) exclusive to this version of the game.http://blog.gameloft.com/brasil/index.php/2015/05/12/asphalt-nitro-esta-disponivel-para-java/ However, there are only 10 cars in this version, all of them based on their appearances in the initial, Gameloft Store-exclusive version of the game.
** The J2ME version of the game is basically a modified version of the J2ME port of Asphalt 6: Adrenaline.
* The Brio Virtual Drift Challenge, an advergame for Honda Brio subcompact (sold in Southeast Asian markets) released in September 2020 in partnership with Honda Prospect Motor Indonesia, is a modified version of the game specifically created to promote it. Both the RS and Satya E models are available, with Gate Drift and Duel being the only available modes.
