Trivia

• Outlaw may get its name from an ironic fact: despite each of Outlaw's drivers working for the greater good, they still participate in the Twisted Metal Tournament, which results in the deaths of several innocents.
• Every driver of Outlaw in the series to date has been "betrayed" by Calypso.
• In Jamie Robert's ending in Twisted Metal 2, Carl Roberts' Outlaw is seen seriously damaged, and it flies into outer space after Carl gets on Jamie's Outlaw 2. It's unknown how Carl survived being in space for a year without food and air. The characters also seem to be able to talk to each other without using spacesuits. Although Calypso could have made him live in space to serve out his "wish."
• Even though Outlaw doesn't appear in Twisted Metal 4, Quatro is the stand-in only in each driver of Outlaw's motives, as Meter Maid acquires the taser weapon for its meter reader cart.
• In Black, it is unknown who drives Outlaw while the special weapon is being used, since Agent Stone himself is operating the turret, leaving the driver seat to do so. This also applies to Raven, whose alternate special move consists of her using a turret of her own. One theory is that they activate Auto-Pilot. Agent Stone may also have vehicle control interface attached on the turret for easy control.
• Outlaw's car design in Black was originally going to be used on Warthog as seen on Sweet Tour.
• With the exception of Black, each of Outlaw's drivers shared the same motive of getting rid of the Twisted Metal tournament once and for all.
• Outlaw was scheduled to be in Twisted Metal: Harbor City, though the special weapon was never finished in development; the turret was only able to fire in one direction. There was also supposed to be another police car involved, though its name and special weapon were never revealed. Some guess that it was supposed to be another Outlaw 2.
• In Twisted Metal (2012), a badge reading "Summit" can be seen on the hood and rear tailgate of the vehicle. This is presumably the name of the manufacturer of the vehicle itself.
