With a Speed rating of only 4.3 (out of a maximum of 10), owed to by its aforementioned top speed of {{convert|192|km/h|mph|sp=us}}, the M12S Warthog CST's top speed is among the lowest of all the Extreme Offroad vehicles, making it unsuitable for long distance driving and leaving it at the mercy of the likes of other Extreme Offroad vehicles like the Local Motors Rally Fighter and, obviously, hypercars like the McLaren Senna. Even with gearing adjusted for higher top speed, it is still disadvantaged by its slower acceleration at speeds above {{convert|180|km/h|mph|sp=us|sigfig=3}}, discouraging the use of this vehicle for drag races past a quarter mile (402 m). | With a Speed rating of only 4.3 (out of a maximum of 10; 5.2 in ''Forza Horizon 4''), owed to by its aforementioned top speed of {{convert|192|km/h|mph|sp=us}}, the M12S Warthog CST's top speed is among the lowest of all the Extreme Offroad vehicles, making it unsuitable for long distance driving and leaving it at the mercy of the likes of other Extreme Offroad vehicles like the Local Motors Rally Fighter and, obviously, hypercars like the McLaren Senna.
