The Declasse Tornado Rat Rod is a hot rod variant of the Tornado, featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the continuation of the Bikers update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Tornado Rat Rod is a highly-modified "hotrod" variant of the rusty Tornado, where several cosmetic changes were made to the vehicle.
The vehicle overall has many design cues inspired by a Gasser style drag car, these are; Drop beam style front axle, Cut frame and front clip removal (possible for a now non existent Fiberglass Clip), Radius Cut wheel wells, 4 link solid axle rear end, Altered wheelbase, Much larger engine, Zoomie Headers and High stack Intake system
The front section of the vehicle has been stripped down to the structure and enlarged in order to fit the massive engine in place and the large exhaust pipe stacks on the sides. The front end features a small rusty bumper with two turning lights and, behind it, two circular headlamps. The front axle is composed of a single aluminium bar with small suspension linkages and two articulated bars connected to the structure, in a similar fashion to the Hotknife and the Fränken Stange, as well as two small wheels with "Dukes" rims. The engine itself has no visible parts covering the front, exposing the rotating timing belt around the gears for the cams, crank, water pump, timing belt adjusters and idlers, as well as eight rusty velocity stacks and "TORNADO" badges over both cam covers. On the rear section, two large wheels with thick drag racing tires and "Five Star" rims have been applied fitted tothe car and the rear arches are now lifted to give (limited) room for the high profile tires. The rear axle is also lifted and fitted with articulated bars. The main greenhouse area of the vehicle has remained untouched. Despite the nature of the vehicle being illegal, its exposed exhausts and engine components and wheels protruding the wheel housing, the vehicle still features a rear license plate.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Tornado is powered by a hefty big-block single-overhead camshaft V8 with 8 large velocity stack carburetors, in an FMR (front-mid engine, rear wheel drive) layout, laid longitudinally and coupled to a 4-speed gearbox. The larged and exposed tires are very vulnerable to gunfire, making bulletproof tires a high recommendation. The Rat Rod has good handling albeit with a low top speed that may prove a challenge to keep up with faster vehicles from its class, even with upgrades, in races.

Trivia
- As with animated primary drives in the motorcycles of the Bikers update, the Tornado Rat Rod features an animated timing belt powering every engine pulley.
- When adding custom wheels to the car, only the front wheels are modified. The rear ones remain in stock form.
- The car's engine lacks a radiator, which would not only expose the components, but would also make the car liable to overheat.
