Description

Power Pipes is a design of a futuristic sports car. The car features two prominent air intakes behind its cockpit, which feed air into the car's turboshaft engine. Comparisons can be drawn with the similarly named and shaped Power Pistons.

Power Pipes was retooled in 2015 to become a post-post design, as well as having smaller air intakes and added detail.

Power Pipes featured as car #05 of the Highway 35 anniversary event, driven by Felix Sharky from the Wave Rippers team.
