Chocolate Ferrari F1 replica
Combining two of my favorite things in the world, confectioners in Italy have made a life-size model of the gorgeous Ferrari F1 car using 4,405lbs of Belgian chocolate to serve a s a centerpiece for the Ferrari owners club party in Sorrento, near Naples!

The car, which was more than one year in the making, will go on display until the weekend after which it will be smashed up with hammers and served to party guests. Based on the F2008, the £12,000 chocolate Ferrari has a red edible coating and guest of the Scuderia Ferrari Club Napoli will be given bits of the car to take home after the bash.

This sofa is fully street legal! It has an MoT and Vehicle Licence and is powered by a mid-mounted, unleaded A-series Mini engine.

Along with the Leopard skin upholstery, the unusual features include a pizza pan (complete with pepperoni pizza) steering wheel, hand operated drinks-can brake ‘pedal’, a chocolate bar to select the 4 automatic gears and a knee throttle which facilitates a feet-up (or down)driving position.

The front indicators are hidden inside two ornamental plant pots which come complete with a fern and a purple and yellow flower arrangement.

The bottle-top coffee table acts as a front bumper and supports a clock, housing the speedometer, a set of dodgy old videos (inc. ‘The Good the Bad and the Comfy’ and ‘Night of the Living Room Dead starring Peter Cushion and Sofa Loren!!) and a working black and white television.

Yes, it’s true! A chocolate car made with 800 kilogram, 1800 pounds, or 28,800 ounces of Belgian chocolate! WOW!!

How much Chocolate?
800 kilogram, 1800 pounds, or 28,800 ounces is equal to:
19,200 bars of Hershey’s 1.5 oz. Chocolate Symphony or
9,600 bars of Lindt 3 oz. Chocolate (US-size) or
8,228 bars of Lindt 3 1/2 oz. Chocolate (yes, chocolate bars in Europe are bigger)

Look at the size of this Masterpiece!!

The chocolate car is the same size as an actual Opel (European car). A whole new meaning of “Fahrvergnügen”.

5 Chocolatiers were working on this car for 4 weeks, from 7 am until 10 pm.
The car is made with milk, dark, and white Belgium Callebaut chocolate.

It’s the sort of car that any self-respecting secret agent would be proud to be seen in.

This high-speed amphibious sports car can swim, hover above water and it’s no slouch when it comes to flat-out speed either.

At the push of a button a hydraulic mechanism transforms the sports car into a propeller-powered boat.

Then an integrated ‘hydrofoil’ system lifts the car to ‘fly’ two foot above the water’s surface.

The Rinspeed Splash was created by Swiss genius Frank M. Rinderknecht, 48, at his car company Rinspeed.

Frank says: “It’s much more than an agile and lively sports car. It’s a really cool and fun sports toy.

“It can reach 125mph on the road and accelerates to 60mph in 5.9 seconds.” The water performance is impressive too, with the Splash reaching an impressive 45 knots.

“That’s fast enough for water skiing or knee boarding,” said Frank.
