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. Unlike the ''Halo'' versions of the Warthog, the M12S Warthog CST's cluster gauges are not static.<ref name="forza">[https://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/hma_9_1_16 '''Forza Motorsport''' - ''2554 AMG Dynamics M12S Warthog CST'']</ref>

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 (8,003 cc; 488.4 cu in) twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 720 hp (537 kW; 730 PS) and 855 ft·lb (1,160 N·m) of torque, as opposed to the 12.0 liter liquid-cooled, [[hydrogen]]-injected internal combustion engine that its FAV counterpart contains, making the M12S significantly faster. The V8 has a specific power output of 90 hp (67 kW; 91 PS) per liter, a bore/stroke ratio of 108 mm×109 mm (4.25 in×4.29 in), a redline set to 6,500 rpm, and a fuel cutoff threshold set to 6,900 rpm. It also has a power-to-weight ratio of 313 hp (233 kW; 317 PS) per tonne, or 7.04 lb (3.19 kg) per horsepower. This version also has {{convert|27.6|in|cm}} of total suspension travel and an advanced dampening system. As with the M12 FAV, the engine is housed in an openable compartment at the front of the vehicle. This Warthog is equipped with permanent all-wheel drive.<ref name="canon fodder"/>
