Air-cooled Volkswagens were central to its birth and popularity. RAT stands for "Recycled Automotive Transport," and it can be said to be a sarcastic homage to Western culture at the time. However, Rat Look cars are different from their appearance. Mechanically, they are often far superior to when they were new. More powerful engines, higher-performance brakes, and custom-made suspensions are hidden under an exterior that has been carefully and expensively finished, as if it had been exposed to the sun for decades. The finish is often protected with a matte clear coat varnish, preventing the vehicle from rusting and preserving its "aged texture." The origin of this "look" dates back to the hot rod enthusiasts of the 1950s in America. They prioritized performance over appearance, poured generous funds into the mechanics of their machines, and were indifferent to the exterior. Because money and time could be used for other things. This style, born in this way, was imitated by many enthusiasts and gained popularity.
