Chrome Ferrari 458 Challenge hits the racetrack

Chrome Ferrari 458 Chellenge

We have seen some of the world's top cars wrapped in chrome before. The Audi R8 V10 and McLaren MP4-12C are two such models that come to mind. However it is highly unusual to see such a shiny model on the racetrack. This Ferrari 458 Challenge has challenged the norm.

It was photographed at the Palm Beach International Raceway during the Cavallino Classic track days that are occurring this weekend.

The model in question is owned by Ferrari of Ft. Lauderdale. They took a black 458 Challenge that was racing in the series last year and converted it primarily for promotional purposes. Should you wish to get your hands on this exclusive model, it is reportedly available for sale.

Chrome or chrome coloured paint? Chrome is a plating and is generally considered to be heavy. I'm guessing this is a polished paint or something? If it was aluminium you'd polish it and there'd be no weight penalty. Anyone able to clarify the finish on this car?
