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.

There are four manufacturer colors available for the M12S Warthog:

Line 41:

=== Engine ===

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 (720 hp and 855 ft·lbs 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. 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), a 53.6% increase from its ''Halo'' counterparts,<ref>'''2554 M12S top speed compared with standard M12/M12B top speed.'''</ref> 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"/>

=== Disadvantages ===

With a Speed rating of only 4.3, owed to by its aforementioned top speed of 119 MPH (192 km/h), 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 112 MPH (180 km/h), discouraging the use of this vehicle for drag races past a quarter mile (402 m).

== Behind the scenes ==

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.
