The **Ryback** **Tornado** is a vehicle that is featured in Split/Second. It is the first truck and one of three vehicles that the player is given upon starting the game fresh.

## Design

#### *Split/Second*

A bulky and tall racing truck, the Tornado resembles that of the 2008 Land Rover LRX Concept, judging by majority of the body, especially the front and rear. Since the Tornado is designed into a Ute, it also resembles the Land Rover Defender Concept 100S.

Majority of the Tornado is tall, from the bottom of the windows and down. In the front, the truck features an angled grill with black slats going horizontally and vertically. Ryback's manufacturer logo sits in the middle. The headlights are slanted and they are angled to a point pass the grill. The bulbs feature one singular lamp and dual LED strips consisting of two for each housing.

Below the grill is another grill but it has a darker shade with the same design as the top, it is like the LRX Concept except the second grill section is shorter, unlike the Tornado. Below the left headlight is a red arrow pointing towards a tow hook. The Tornado's lower front section features a large carbon fiber bumper and it spans across the entire lower side of the vehicle. The bumper is angled to a subtle point and features inner grooves on the outer sides.

The hood includes a bulge in the middle section, covering most of the space on the hood. and is also colored in a large single white stripe. At the beginning of the headlights consists of thing, long mesh air ducts going to the brakes, it also stops just at the Tornado's large carbon fiber lower section.

Just past the mesh air ducts are beefy fender flares to add to the rugged and wideness of the truck and it even carries down to the carbon fiber sections. A red kill switch sits just on the left side between the windshield and hood. The cab is slightly lower to fit the other proportions of the vehicle, a bit similar to the Bandit. It features small side mirrors and has no pillars along the side windows. The doors are long and it ends before the side vents.

Between the left side vent and fender flare includes a gas tank. Going to the rear, one can note that the top portion of the rear is indented, and the lower carbon fiber portion slightly sticks out. The taillights also resemble the LRX Concept except that the Tornado's taillight covers are in one piece, angled and the light stripes go along with the shape. It features two large red light stripes alongside dual and small LED light stripes. The trunk area is lined up with the taillight design, with the lower portion is covered in carbon fiber. The Ryback logo is placed in the middle as well.

Within the rear bumper features slanted double exhaust pipes and, in the middle, a lighter colored mesh grating split in two, creating the exhaust pipe housings. Below the exhaust section is a large carbon fiber diffuser.

On the truck bed, holds the Tornado's engine. It sits in a deep cut out of the bed, taking up a large portion of. It sits behind the cabin, exposed. The truck is also fitted with a drag styled ducktail. It is equipped with 12-spoke black rims with red center locks and "Split/Second" tires.

The Tornado has thick white stripes with the bottom stripe stretching towards the rear and wrapping around the trunk. The rest of the vehicle can be colored with **6** choices the player can choose from:

* **Dark** **Blue**
* **Blue**
* **White**
* **Grey**
* **Black**
* **Red**

## Performance

#### *Split/Second*

As expected for a truck it's size, it has very low acceleration, and it takes a bit to get moving. Given that it is in Class C, the Tornado can be described as a beginner's truck. It's cornering is only average but could slow the vehicle down due to the soft suspension, thus creating body roll. Nonetheless, the Tornado is balanced

It has an average drift, though the player would have to put some force into creating a drift due to the heavy size of the truck. It can hold corners and maintain it's speed throughout, but in deeper drifts it slows down slightly and will go wider. In longer, medium speed drifts, the truck will require some control as it will continue to drift until it is corrected. After a drift, it accelerates for a quarter of a second.

Against powerplays and shockwaves, it will mostly remain gripped to the road thanks to its great strength, it has similar resistance like the Bandit but with other classes involved, there are trucks who hold more resistance. It is good for its spot in Class C.
