A life size model of an F1 Ferrari made entirely from chocolate has been delivered to Italy where it will take centre stage at a Ferrari owners club party. The “car” took more than a year to make out of 4,405lbs (over 2 tons) of Belgian chocolate.

The model will only have a short life and will be smashed up with hammers after the club event. Guests will be given bits of the car to take home in a special bag. Based on the F2008 the car has an edible red coating and cost some €16,000 to make.
