Red-Letter Day For Edible Ferrari

A life-size chocolate model of a Ferrari Formula One car has been unveiled in Italy. Confectioners spent more than a year making the car out of 4,405 pounds (2000 kilograms) of Belgian chocolate. It has now been delivered to Sorrento, near Naples, where it will be the centrepiece of a Ferrari owners’ club party. Luigi Liberti, president of the Scuderia Ferrari Club Napoli, said: "It will go on display until the weekend and then will be smashed up with hammers and handed out to party guests." To see a picture of the chocolate Ferrari, which is based on an F2008, and has a red edible coating, go to Ananova.
