Ferrari's distinctive red paint proves up to the test of space
September 9, 2002 8:00AM CDT

Having proved itself on the racecourse, Ferrari's distinctive red paint has now proved its worth for use in space as well.

After rigorous testing, the European Space Agency will integrate a sample of Ferrari's "Rosso Corsa" into the Mars Express during a ceremony on Sept. 18, at the agency's INTESPACE facility in, Toulouse, France.
