Design[]
The Touring Car is a simple four-door family car.
Features
Designed for urban travel, it makes for a decent choice of transportation around cities. However, it is somewhat lacking when it comes to off-road driving and doesn't have the sharpest of handling on tight corners.[CfgVh 6]
Mobility
The Touring Car shares the same acceleration and handling (on paved roads) with the Hatchback. Consequently, it shares the same drawbacks as well, namely that it has awful off-road handling and will immediately slow to a crawl (23 km/h) if it happens to be driving over grassy terrain.[CfgVh 7]
Crew Capacity
Not including the driver, the Touring Car can transport up to three passengers who sit in the front-right and rear two seats.[CfgVh 1]
Protection[]
Touring Cars have a base armour value of 20.[CfgVh 8]
Successful strikes to any of the following highlighted sections will inflict full damage to the component:
Body[]
The vehicle's body can withstand up to 20 points of damage.[CfgVh 9][Formula 1] Depletion of its integrity will always result in the vehicle's destruction.[CfgVh 10]
Engine[]
The Touring Car's engine can only take a maximum of 8 points of damage before it fails.[CfgVh 11][Formula 2] At least 20% of incoming damage will be shared with the vehicle's main "health" pool. The Touring Car can explode if it is at or near critical "health" status at the time of the engine's destruction.[CfgVh 12]
Fuel tank[]
The Touring Car's fuel tank can only withstand up to 6 points of damage before it ruptures.[CfgVh 13][Formula 3] At least 50% of incoming damage will be shared with the vehicle's main "health" pool. The Touring Car can explode if it is at or near critical "health" status when the fuel tank is destroyed.[CfgVh 14]
Wheels[]
Each of the Touring Car's four wheels can take up to 6 points of damage before their tyres burst.[CfgVh 15][CfgVh 16][CfgVh 17][CfgVh 18][Formula 4] Up to 30% of incoming damage to any of the wheels will be shared with the vehicle's main "health" pool. The Touring Car can potentially explode if it is at or near critical "health" status when all four wheels are destroyed.[CfgVh 19][CfgVh 20][CfgVh 21][CfgVh 22]
Defensive sensors[]
The Touring Car is not equipped with defensive sensors. The driver will not be alerted if a guided weapon and/or projectile is attempting to acquire or has successfully acquired a lock onto the vehicle.[CfgVh 23][CfgVh 24]

Trivia[]
- The Touring Car is based on the real-world 2004 model of the "Škoda Octavia" series of family cars designed by Škoda Auto, a car manufacturer in the Czech Republic.
- On release, its steering wheel was incorrectly configured and would rotate in the opposite direction whenever the driver made a turn (the car itself was not affected and would turn properly towards the user's heading).
- This was finally addressed following the release of the CorePatch updates for the Steam versions of the game, which fixed the model's steering wheel and made it properly rotate in the right direction.[5]
