Ferrari Testarossa Rat Rod?

Scott ChiversPhotographerZach MartinAuthor

Yeah, you read that right. Ferrari Testarossa Rat Rod, or as the car's owner Scott calls it, "The Ratarossa." In this case though, the term "rat" is used to describe the bare-bones, stripped-paint exterior of this UK man's Ferrari. Aside from the incredible contrast of style, trend, and car, one of the most unique features is the sawed-off roof. Rat Rods, chopped roofs--sounds like the beginnings of a '50s Kustom build but on a Ferrari!

When the Testarossa was being built, the designers were throwing around the idea of doing a Spider (roofless) version of the car. Someone had the idea of building their own and cut off the roof before Scott purchased it. He's since been getting it roadworthy. We admire the creativity and confidence of the person ballsy enough to chop the roof off a Ferrari in the first place, as well as Scott's willingness to drive a terminal roadster in the UK fog.
