Abstract
An air scoop is shown for use in combination with a vehicle having an engine air intake port located in a side panel of a body panel of the vehicle; the scoop has a forward inlet and a rearward discharge end; the scoop extends outwardly beyond the normal contour of the vehicular body so that the inlet functions as a scoop-like inlet while the discharge end serves to direct such air as flows into the air scoop into the engine air intake port.
