 The [[2554]] version of the M12S Warthog is approximately twenty-five percent smaller and thirty percent lighter than the militarized [[M12 Warthog|M12 "Warthog" Force Application Vehicle]], while having a stronger resemblance to the [[2558]] [[M12 Warthog#2558 model|M12B model]] overall. As a [[civilian]] model of the Warthog, the M12S inevitably lacks any form of armament. The M12S has two seats, one for the driver and the other for a passenger.<ref name="canon fodder"/>
-Like the [[M12 Warthog#2554 model|2554 version of the M12 FAV]], this version of the Warthog uses a version of the second chassis. It also features an SLED searchlight and a rear-mounted antenna at the passenger side. The M12S also uses a similar duel spring suspension to keep the vehicle stable in different environments.<ref>'''2554 M12S design compared to the 2554 M12 design.'''</ref> The size of both the front and rear tires is 420/60/20.

+Like the [[M12 Warthog#2554 model|2554 version of the M12 FAV]], this version of the Warthog uses a version of the second chassis. It also features an SLED searchlight and a rear-mounted antenna at the passenger side. The M12S, as with the standard Warthog, is a front-biased vehicle, with 54% of its weight distribution set to the front. The M12S also uses a similar duel spring suspension to keep the vehicle stable in different environments.<ref>'''2554 M12S design compared to the 2554 M12 design.'''</ref> The size of both the front and rear tires is 420/60/20.

 The M12S has neutral camber on both front and rear and lacks toe-in and toe-out. Its front caster angle is 5.0 degrees.<ref name="fh3 game">'''Forza Horizon 3''', ''Tune'' menu (default tune)</ref> In addition, its anti-roll bars are extremely stiff, with 2.38 for the front and 2.53 for the rear.<ref name="fh3 game"/> The M12S has a stock ride height of 57.7 cm (22.7 inches) and has a front spring stiffness of 307.2 lb/in and a rear spring stiffness of 319.7 lb/in.<ref name="fh3 game"/> It has very low rebound and bump stiffness, with 3.3 and 3.1 for front and rear rebound stiffness, respectively, and 3.0 and 2.8 for front and rear bump stiffness, respectively.

 * '''Braking''': 8.5<ref name="fh3"/>
 * '''Division''': Extreme Offroad<ref name="fh3"/>
-In ''Forza Horizon 4'', these stats were changed to:
-* '''Performance Index''': A 756
-* '''Speed''': 5.2
-* '''Handling''': 7.1
-* '''Acceleration''': 9.7
-* '''Launch''': 10
-* '''Braking''': 7.5
 === Advantages ===
-Being AWD, the M12S Warthog CST is capable of launching off the line without wheelspin and features the best handling among the Extreme Offroad vehicles, only bested by several Rally Monsters vehicles. With its superior handling and braking over most other offroad-oriented vehicles partly thanks to its AWD drivetrain, which also gives it superior launch over most other AWD vehicles in the game, the M12S Warthog CST is ideal for offroad applications and Cross Country Circuit races. With proper driving skill, it is capable of reaching at least top 25 in Class A Rivals leaderboards on short Cross Country Circuit or Scramble routes.

 === Disadvantages ===
 With a Speed rating of only 4.3 (out of a maximum of 10; 5.2 in ''Forza Horizon 4''), owed to by its aforementioned top speed of {{convert|192|km/h|mph|sp=us}}, the M12S Warthog CST's top speed is among the lowest of all the Extreme Offroad vehicles, making it unsuitable for long distance driving and leaving it at the mercy of the likes of other Extreme Offroad vehicles like the Local Motors Rally Fighter and, obviously, hypercars like the McLaren Senna. Even with gearing adjusted for higher top speed, it is still disadvantaged by its slower acceleration at speeds above {{convert|180|km/h|mph|sp=us|sigfig=3}}, discouraging the use of this vehicle for drag races past a quarter mile (402 m).
+=== Changes from ''Forza Horizon 3'' to ''Forza Horizon 4'' ===
+* Performance Index has been changed:
+** '''Performance Index''': A 756 (-44)
+** '''Speed''': 5.2 (+0.9)
+** '''Handling''': 7.1 (-0.8)
+** '''Acceleration''': 9.7 (+1.2)
