Choc F1 car goes on show

A life-size chocolate model of a Ferrari Formula 1 car has been unveiled in Italy.



Confectioners spent more than a year making the car out of 4,405lbs 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 - they will be given bits of the car to take home in a special bag."

The £12,000 chocolate Ferrari is based on an F2008, and has a red, edible coating.

Liberti added: "The project started one year ago, just for fun, but then the Club Pasticceri Italiani started to get really enthusiastic and eventually it became a life-sized model.

"They started melting the chocolate in 2007, at first copying a small-scale model of the Ferrari F2008, then getting the full scale model done using chocolate imported especially from Belgium."

I love that advert! I think it's so amazing how they put the engine together (even though it wasn't going to be seen) and it was so detailed, they even poured syrup in the oil tank.

I do laugh at the part where the guy is holing the jelly light and he's trying to put it into place That doesn't look easy.
