M12S Warthog CST: Difference between revisions

Unlike the M12 FAV, the M12S lacks the more ubiquitous four-wheel steering in an effort to sacrifice low-speed maneuverability for better high-speed handling and performance-wheel steering. The M12S features an 8 liter (7,990 cc) twin turbo V8 engine with identical power and torque specifications to the M12 FAV, as opposed to the 12.0 liter liquid-cooled, [[hydrogen]]-injected internal combustion engine that its FAV counterpart contains, making the M12S significantly faster. This version also has seventy centimeters of total suspension travel and an advanced dampening system. As with the M12 FAV, the engine is housed in a compartment at the front of the vehicle. This Warthog is equipped with all-wheel drive.<ref name="canon fodder"/>

The M12S has a maximum speed of 192 kilometers per hour (119 miles per hour), though gearing, while adjustable by default, is limited at such speeds. The M12S Warthog can reach a speed of 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, while being capable of reaching a speed of 100 mph in 9.81 seconds; in-game, though, it accomplishes these in 5 and 13.9 seconds, respectively. The M12S can traverse a distance of a quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at a speed of 109.4 miles per hour. The vehicle's mid-housed transmission is a 6-speed automatic with manual override. The M12S Warthog boasts heavy duty, offroad, double wishbone suspension at both the front and rear of the vehicle. The suspension travel (full droop to full compression) is 0.7 meters (27.6 inches). The M12S Warthog CST utilizes a 35 centimeter (14 inch) disc brake, as does the M12 FAV.<ref name="forza"/>

The M12S was created for the video game ''[[Wikipedia:Forza Horizon 3|Forza Horizon 3]]'' as a playable vehicle and one of only two fictional vehicles in that game, alongside the [[w:c:finalfantasy:Regalia|Quartz Regalia]] from ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy XV|Final Fantasy XV]]''. To unlock the M12S in ''Forza Horizon 3'', a free download to everyone who had played either ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' or ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' on Xbox One would be available. Eligible players would receive codes to download the Warthog via an Xbox Live Message, and codes were sent out between September 6, 2016 and September 23, 2016. In addition, players who did not play an Xbox One Halo game later had the chance to earn the Warthog via special #Forzathon events that were added to ''Forza Horizon 3'' in October 2016, February 2017, January 2018, and March 2018. <ref name="Gone Gold>[http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/fh3_gonegold '''Forza Motorsport''' - ''Forza Horizon 3 Gone Gold'']</ref> Players may also purchase it through the in-game Auction House.
