Description[]
Power Rocket is one of Larry Wood's fantasy creations. This super-fast rocket car has an opening canopy; in 2015, the casting was changed with the wings being closed, the engine being a bit bigger and the canopy can no longer be opened. In 2016, the tooling was updated for the second time, with the engine being reverted to its original size, while in 2017, the tooling was changed again, with the two jet engines now being made of plastic and no longer part of the base. The car resembles the original 1971 Jet Threat.
Power Rocket featured as car #20 of the Highway 35 anniversary event, driven by Yucatan from the Road Beasts team. The version depicted in the World Race is, despite appearances, powered by a 10-cylinder internal combustion engine.
