Perhaps they meant that the designs (or at least some of them) appear in the main game - but really in name only), but since the mechanics of the games are pretty dissimilar, it seems unlikely you could come up with a design that was suitable for both.

As HC, tires, Acc etc. is irrelevant in Mini CW the vehicles may have been cost adjusted downwards to reinstate "balance".

To be honest though, once you have the vehicles design system plus the many stock vehicles in the main game, the few vehicles on Mini CW are of little interest. It would be more interesting if they could go the other way to introduce a bit more variety to Mini CW.

That said, the main USP of Mini CW is that it is easy so maybe variety isn't that useful.

Or an earlier draft of the MCW rules left in tires, acc, and hc (albeit in simplified forms), and when those were carved out for space the car statblocks were updated but the introductory text wasn't (except to possible add the "some additions" qualifier).

I dropped copies of the MCW designs on the Unofficial CW Discord; I'm not sure about dropping them here.
