    I'm restoring a rare metal Ferrari F1 pedal car for my almost 3 year old son. He was born in 2008 and I would like to paint the car in the official color of the F1 cars in 2008. Was it Rosso Scuderia? Rosso Corsa? Which red was it? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this the year Ferrari had two different colors? One being the standard Rosso Scuderia and then later on in the year, Ferrari went to a more metalic, deeper red???

    You are correct. Rosso Corsa changed to Rosso Scuderia.

    I still think that the Ferrari 2008 front wing is the best looking one since Jordan's when they first introduced stepped wing concept. I wish I could get a full size replica of it.

    Yes wow that red just pops! I love Rosso Scud. I think the best looking cars were the teardrop shaped 89-92 Ferraris.
