Description[]
The Aristo Rat is a Hot Wheels Original Model designed by Dmitriy Shakhmatov. it depicts a heavily-modified rat rod with a pickup bed. 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 is part of the interior. This technique was first introduced in the 2016 2005 Ford Mustang. On the side of the single seat, a rat is gnawing on a wrench.
The Aristo Rat has its origins in a rat rod design that Dmitriy Shakhmatov wanted to build for himself. His sketches for this design were noticed by a fellow designer who used them as a basis for modelling the Aristo Rat.
