It's not everyday that you see a car like the 1989 Ferrari 412 get transformed into something that goes against everything the Prancing Horse->ke252 stands for. But somehow, London Supercar Workshop owner and founder Elo (yes, that's his name) managed to do it and more.

History Channel's Ultimate Wheels follows the exploits of Elo as he sets out and puts his brush stroke on great cars, transforming them into, well, the title of the show.

In this particular instance, Elo set his sights on the aforementioned Ferrari 412, giving it a Jekyll and Hyde transformation that essentially turned the Italian supercar->ke177 into a...pick-up truck->ke242.

Yes...a pick-up truck.

It does seem a little blasphemous to even consider butchering a Ferrari and turn it into something that isn't a supercar, but for what it's worth, there's a method to Elo's madness, something that can't be explained by simply looking at the finished product.

Ferrari 412 Pick-Up By London Supercar Workshop in detail

The first order of business was removing almost a foot (11'8", to be exact) of the 412's roof to clear space for a three-foot load bed at the back. To his credit, Elo at least used teak wood to panel the rear bed, thoughtfully paying homage to luxury yachts.

Right after that, improvements to the rear suspension were made to increase the car's sturdiness, especially now that the rear section has a totally different purpose entirely.

On the front end of the conversion, a shotgun scoop bonnet was added into the mix while the rear section gets a new bespoke exhaust system that can alternately shift the identity of the car from its new pick-up traits and back to its old performance origin.

And as another thoughtful hat tip to Ferrari, Elo decided to finish up his work by dressing up the 412 pick-up with a Rosso Red paint job. How thoughtful of the man.
