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 720 hp (537 KW) 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 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"/> | 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.
