Description
The Aristo Rat is a Hot Wheels Original Model designed by Dmitriy Shakhmatov. It is a variation on the classic rat-rod with its huge front spoiler and air scoop on the roof. A gas tank is located in the front of the model, behind the headlights. The engine appears to be mounted underneath the cargo bed. Double twin-exhausts poke from underneath the cargo bed. The front spoiler uses the nifty technique that makes use of the interior. This technique was first introduced in the 2016 2005 Ford Mustang. This beast has a five-point racing seat belt to keep you seated all the time. On the side of the single seat, a rat is gnawing on a wrench.
