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 an antenna at the rear. 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 speedometer is dynamic and changes along with the vehicle's speed.<ref name="forza">[https://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/hma_9_1_16 '''Forza Motorsport''' - ''2554 AMG Dynamics M12S Warthog CST'']</ref>

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.

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) twin-turbocharged 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. The V8 has a bore/stroke ratio of 108x109 mm (4.25x4.29 in). 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 front differential is set to 100% on acceleration and 0% on deceleration, while the rear differential is set to 100% on both acceleration and deceleration. The M12S Warthog has an 86%/14% rear/front center differential balance.<ref name="fh3 game"/>


The M12S has a maximum speed of {{convert|192|km/h|mph|sp=us}}, 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. It has the following gear ratios:

The M12S Warthog can reach a speed of {{convert|97|km/h|mph|sp=us}} in 3.7 seconds, while being capable of reaching a speed of {{convert|161|km/h|mph|sp=us}} in 9.81 seconds; in-game, though, it accomplishes these in 5 and 13.8 seconds, respectively. The M12S can traverse a distance of a quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at a speed of {{convert|176.1|km/h|mph|sp=us}}. In addition, the M12S can brake from {{convert|97|km/h|mph|sp=us}} to a stop in {{convert|164|ft|m}} and {{convert|161|km/h|mph|sp=us}} to a stop in {{convert|356|ft|m}}.<ref name="fh3 game"/> 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 Warthog CST is capable of 0.89 lateral Gs at {{convert|97|km/h|mph|sp=us}} and 0.88 at {{convert|193|km/h|mph|sp=us}}.<ref name="fh3 game"/>
