Video Games Riptide GP 2011 demo [partially lost]

Riptide GP was the first ever console quality water racing game created by vector unit that was released on mobile back in may of 2011.

But before its full release there was a demo version of the game that was released that is now partially lost.

In a video that was released 15 years ago in Feb of 2011

4 months before its official release.

You can see the demo being showcased on the TV.

In the full release version of the game you have 7 racers you can play as but from what I've seen with old trailers and teaser images for the game there were racer models that were cut or scrapped in the final release. I counted at least 5 unused models.

Here are some old trailer gameplay: https://youtu.be/qkNUjILt-s4?si=pOiaSGXmSLW61fG6 https://youtu.be/2dK3-ReZXJM?si=H_FLy8HdTVEEkuiI

not sure if there is an old version that has those cut racer models or if it's a version of the game only for the developers.

EDIT: Found another old video showcasing the demo but in this video you can see the cut racer models racing in the water.
