Sonic Drift 2[]
In Sonic Drift 2, the Whirlwind S7 is Tails' personal race car that he uses in the game's racing competitions.
In gameplay, the Whirlwind S7 has medium acceleration, top speed, and handling. As such, it possesses no outstanding qualities or weaknesses. Also, like in Sonic Drift, the Whirlwind S7's special ability allows Tails and his vehicle to perform the Jump Over to dash forwards through the air. This special ability has the same effect as the Jump Springs and Jump power-ups in the game. Like before, using this ability costs two Rings.
