You can probably see where this is going. But the upgrades don't' carry over between events: every time you race, you'll have to buy new upgrades, even if you've applied them to that car before. You can increase your odds by adding modifications to your cars, like run flat tires for speed strips, extra nitrous, or a more toughened chassis. which then have to be bought with the money you earn in-game.
Do well enough in a given class, and you'll be allowed to challenge one of the "Most Wanted," elite racers driving the best cars in the game. Progress through the lower tiers with more mundane cars and you'll open up new areas of the city, with new events to compete in. Each race earns you both money and experience, depending upon how well you do: experience unlocks new events and vehicles, but the cars themselves (and nearly everything else) must be bought with your winnings. You'll have to contend with cops, other racers, and the various time limits and bonus objectives to pull in the maximum amount of cash.
The appeal of Need For Speed Most Wanted is nearly universal: you're a streetwise street racer giving the middle finger to Johnny Law, who pursues you in almost every event.

Overly simplified, easy gameplay, a straightforward progression (as opposed to the open world of the full version) and constant, insistent pushes towards in-app purchases sour what is otherwise a solid racing experience. But it also runs afoul of some of the most common pitfalls for touch-based racing games. The mobile version of Most Wanted gets a lot right: a variety of cars, plenty of customization, a great feeling of speed, and some of the best graphics in a racing game yet.
