Facts from the source article.
Cars
Three cars are available for purchase: the Taraco Neoroder Turbo, the Vaug Interceptor Turbo, and the Retron Parsec Turbo. Each is loosely based on a real car of the era: the Taraco resembles the Alfa Romeo SZ, the Vaug the Honda NSX, and the Retron the Cizeta-Moroder V16T. The box art depicts the starter car as a European Ford Fiesta or Escort Cosworth convertible, and the Retron as a Lamborghini Countach.
