Auto Modellista is a racing video game with cel-shading that has a wide variety of high-performance automobiles from various manufacturers, such as Mazda, Honda, Toyota, and Subaru, in addition to a few Japanese concept automobiles.
The game can be played in various modes, including arcade, time trial, split-screen play for two players, and garage life. The primary gameplay mode in the game is called Garage Life. In this stage of the game, the player will compete in races using any of the cars they have unlocked throughout the previous seven levels, each of which will have a different number of races. For the player to advance to the next level, they must win at least one of the races, if not all of them. You can unlock additional cars, items, and components when you win these races. In the garage, the player can modify the look of their vehicle by applying stickers and body components that they have previously earned. Alterations to the car’s brakes, suspension, tires, and other features can also be made to fine-tune its performance.
The American version of the game also includes functionality for play via the internet (broadband only).
