'Harry Potter' star Rupert Grint has splashed out 200,000 pounds on a Ferrari Testarossa which was named after people with ginger hair.

The 26-year-old flame-haired star has confessed he splashed out the hefty sum on the classic Ferrari Testarossa and was thrilled to discover the car had been named after his ginger locks, reported Femalefirst.

"It's something I've always wanted. It's a Testarossa, an 80s one, which actually translates to 'red-headed', so it's perfect."

The 26-year-old actor previously drove an ice cream van but confessed to swapping it for the luxury sports car as he used to feel 'creepy' driving it around.
