The '70 Plymouth Road Runner was Taro Kitano’s main car in the World Race. The lightning in the Storm Realm damaged it so it was replaced with Rivited.
History[]
Taro entered the Storm Realm using this car. While driving in the realm, RD-L1 tried to attack him, but he swerved and hit a lightning pole. Taro then finds a group of drones. He rams one of them, before a lightning bolt comes down. The drone swerves and it hits the Road Runner head on, disabling it, and knocking Taro out. He had to be towed out of the realm by Wylde and Monkey. After this, the Road Runner isn't seen again.
