Pir-hana's Prototype ship is based on this ship.
Description[]
The pinnacle of speed engineering, the Pir-hana Speed variant is unparalleled among the standard classes, where it lacks in maneuverability, it really makes up for with raw power.
Overview[]
With an extremely high top speed, the Pir-hana Speed is an ideal choice for anyone intending to break lap records or Elite Pass some difficult events. This ship is also a popular choice for the more experienced players in online races. Keep in mind that this ship has problems with tight corners, like the ones on Rockway Stadium, especially its skillcuts. If you're not careful, you will end up losing a very large amount of velocity to wall-scraping. Unless you dare, do not attempt skillcuts while in this ship, since skillcuts are already difficult to enter anyway, let alone go through unscatched. It's all because this ship has a sub-par handling and is not very durable. And for exactly that reason, you will definitely never attempt to jump into this ship without mastering airbrakes beforehand. As for weapons power, the Pir-hana Speed's is actually pretty good, but still, you need to be careful in fights so as to cope with its lackluster health.

Trivia[]

- There are two Head to Head challenges in the Single Player Campaign, where the opponent is always the Pir-hana Speed.
- The final race in the 2050 Season is a race against seven Pir-hana Speed ships.
- The ship never appears in any of the 2048 and 2049 events, which implies the Pir-hana Speed was in development during those years.
