"Light the fuse & Booooom!"

TNT is one of the 50 original cars from Carmageddon: TDR 2000. It first appears in the Slums, being part of the second batch of vehicles the player encounters in the game from Race 3 onwards.

Design

It is a red pickup truck appearing to be a 1989 Toyota Hilux, with designs of TNT explosives throughout its body.

Performance

TNT is an all-rounder car that is decent at wrecking opponents at 1.7, and with a decent acceleration. It is similar to The Beast in terms of performance, which is a vehicle that first appears in the earlier zone. The Beast has better acceleration and higher top speed compared to TNT, however, making buying this rather expensive truck not ideal.

Driver

The driver, named "Han Grenade" in the files, wears a red suit with a TNT explosive design and the word "boom" on his chest area. He also appears to be wearing a helmet.
