Gameplay[]
Advantages[]
- Accelerates off the line rather quickly without any wheelspin (owing to its Launch rating of 10, which is achieved with all-wheel drive), reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.8 seconds.
- Sharp, responsive handling and high maneuverability.
- As an Extreme Offroad vehicle, can travel through rough terrain easily, like with the original M12B Warthog, making the M12S Warthog CST suitable for offroad events and driving.
Disadvantages[]
- Has the lowest top speed out of all Extreme Offroad vehicles, with only 119 mph (192 km/h), which makes the M12S Warthog CST more suitable for tracks where high speed is not a priority (e.g. technical circuits).
- Is extremely limited in terms of upgrade options offered. The only available upgrades are to wheels, engine, and drivetrain (conversion to rear-wheel drive), resulting in the M12S Warthog CST being upgradable only up to the middle of S1 Class.
