** It does have a slightly higher chance of appearing in a Super Wheelspin though. Even then, depending on your luck, it may be better to obtain the M12S CST through the Autoshow for the full 850,000 CR price or through the Auction House for a lower price.

*** As of Series 11 (July 2019), every car, including the M12S, has a dynamic maximum price based on how often it sells in the Auction House, up to a maximum of 20,000,000 CR. This can allow players to obtain the M12S Warthog for more than 90% off the 850,000 CR value.

** Despite having a wider range of upgrades than before, it is still ineffective in Rivals or PvP events featuring S1 Class vehicles or higher due to the strong presence and superior performance of vehicles like the Ford F-150 Prerunner DeBerti Design Truck, Lamborghini Urus, McLaren 720S Spider and 600LT Coupé, etc., as it does not have enough upgrades to reach the top of S1 Class.

*** In spite of this, Drivatars can be seen driving the M12S with a class of S1 860. This is most easily observed if the player drives a vehicle with a class of at least S1 865 (preferably a car that can be upgraded to X 999, like the Apollo Intensa Emozione) and enters a solo or co-op race event with a small list of eligible vehicles, including the M12S itself.

** The highest speed it can reach is 163 mph (263 km/h), which can be achieved with widening the vehicle's gear ratios. Adjusting the Final Drive to a lower value like 4.90 is enough, although the player can also fine-tune the individual gear ratios to their liking.

*** With the increased speed, the Warthog is more capable of taking on longer drag race routes, but its increased speed's effectiveness still diminishes drastically on The Juggernaut, which is 2.6 mi (4.2 km) long, where it is easily overtaken by the likes of the Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione (which is capable of easily exceeding 300 mph (483 km/h)), Koenigsegg CC8S, and Rimac C_Two.

Note that the chapters below must be completed in the order they appear.

{{Quote|'''Own''' and '''drive''' the '''2554 AMG Transport Dynamics M12S Warthog CST''', a mysterious vehicle from the future}}
* Buying and owning the M12S is easy; just buy the vehicle from the Autoshow for 850,000 CR, or failing that, the Auction House for a lower price. It can sometimes be won in the Horizon Wheelspin.
* Upon having the M12S, simply get in it and exit out to the in-game world.

{{Quote|This thing seems very rugged! Test out its durability by '''earning 5 Wrecking Ball Skill Combos''' in the '''M12S Warthog CST'''}}
* The Wrecking Ball Skill Combo is obtained by destroying multiple small objects in a short period of time, subsequently also earning a lot of Wreckage Skills. While this can be done anywhere on the map, it is most easily done at the Greendale Aerodrome, which has more than 100 destructible small objects.
* Be careful of curved fences and hay bales, as driving through them can break a Skill Chain.

{{Quote|Conduct a Warthog Run exercise to review the off-road capability of your '''M12S Warthog CST''', by using it to '''win 3 Cross Country Series Events'''!}}
* This chapter can be done on any Drivatar difficulty setting or in online PvP races.
* The Cross Country Series events can be either Cross Country Circuits or point-to-point Cross Country routes.
* Custom Routes Method:
*# Using short custom routes is advisable. To create one, go to any race event (except Street Scene or Drag Strip events), go to Route Creator, and then get in any car. Drive for an extremely short distance (about 400 ft), place a checkpoint, and then do a sharp right followed by a left U-turn and another sharp right to continue in the route's starting direction before placing down the finish line. A custom route like this should be easy to win on, even with a stock M12S.
*# Blueprint a new Exhibition event at the route where the short custom route was created, using said short custom route. The car restrictions can be Anything Goes, Extreme Offroad, American All-Stars, Heavy Hitters, or AMG Transport Dynamics-only. Once the car restrictions and short custom route are created, save the Blueprint, but '''remember''' to select Cross Country for the racing series.
*# Play the newly created Event Blueprint using the short custom route, select the M12S, and then just speed through the Drivatars past the first checkpoint and through the finish line immediately ahead. You should easily come in first, as the Drivatars will have to drive through the extra turns in the short custom route.
*# Collect the race rewards from the event and then repeat the event twice more.
* Default Routes Method:
*# It is advisable to upgrade the M12S to A 800, which is done by installing the Racing 7.2L V8 and its Race Intake Manifold / Throttle Body, Race Ignition, and Race Flywheel upgrades.
*# Short Cross Country Series routes are advisable. Blueprinting single lap races from Cross Country Circuits is recommended, but should you struggle with single lap races, having more laps is advisable.
*# Any of the aforementioned car restrictions will work for this method.

{{Quote|Work up a big, grunty thirst by '''earning 3 Stars''' at the '''Slate Quarry Speed Trap''' in the '''M12S Warthog CST'''}}
* Upgrades are '''required''' for this chapter, specifically the Racing 7.2L V8 with the Twin Turbo aspiration swap upgrade along with the Race Ignition, Race Engine Block, Race Twin Turbo, Race Intercooler, and Race Flywheel upgrades installed. The Slate Quarry Speed Trap requires a trap speed of 130.00 mph (209.21 km/h) for 3 Stars, which a stock M12S obviously cannot achieve.
* If you have not unlocked the Slate Quarry Speed Trap yet, progress through Speed Trap Hero by obtaining 3 Stars on Speed Traps to unlock more.
* With the M12S upgraded to S1 850 or higher with the aforementioned upgrades, start from the Kingfisher Cottage house, and then head west on the dirt road towards the Slate Quarry Speed Trap, and then speed through it. If you do it correctly, you should exceed the 130.00 mph (209.21 km/h) 3 Star target for the Speed Trap.
