A good way to sell an R8

If you want to promote with success a product that you want to sell, probably the easiest way is to show a girl with it. And that's the idea of an Ebay seller that is selling for 130.000$ a 2008 Audi R8 V8 (GT?), and if you look the pictures of the car, you may notice a sexy girl that is posing in lingerie.. but I'm afraid that she's not included with the car. Indeed, that sexy touch in the auction has attracted over 20.000 visitors in less than a week. The girl is posing on a public place with the R8; if she's the girlfriend of the owner, I hope that the interior of the car gets cleaned for the new one.

Charity Auctions for Emilia Romagna

As you remember, back in May of this year, a series of brutal earthquakes have caused a lot of damages and also casualties in the Emilia Romagna region, the place where the magic happens, where you can find some of the best automotive factories such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Pagani.

The weekend of the italian F1 GP, Ferrari has given to Google executive Benjamin Slossag the keys to his brand new Ferrari 599XX sold for an incredible price tag of 1.4m €. The proceeds from this car and other items sold at the charity auction have been donated to the victims of the earthquake.


But it's not over, the funds for this amazing region keep coming through charity car events held all around Italy, and also thanks to Mclaren that has decided to sell on Ebay the racing suits used by Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton during the italian F1 GP held at Monza. The proceeds will be donated to an hospital and a school for disabled children. Are you a crazy Mclaren fan and want to make a good deed? Here the links to the auctions:

Subaraudi 5-Series

A very confused man is selling on Ebay UK his modified 1993 Subaru Impreza WRX. Probably he was looking for a sporty japanese car with the prestige of a german sedan, but the result is certainly a ricer mix of 3 popular cars; a 1993 Subaru Impreza with the back of the 2003 BMW 5-Series E60 and the front of the 2005 Audi A4 B7.I'm very perplexed by the way the owner is describing the car as " Lovely lovely " and that there are currently 4 bids for this " thing ".

Ferrari in: Forza Emilia

You may have heard that recently the area of Modena has been hit by a series of brutal earthquakes, even the most important factories such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati had to shut down for a couple of days. It's not a good situation, many houses have fallen down, many factories are damaged and unfortunately there are injuries and casualties.

Ferrari has decided to give a hand to the population by doing a charity auction for raising important funds to donate to the parents to the victims of the earthquakes. It's also a very good occasion to do the right thing and give the opportunity to Ferrari fans to buy very exclusive products such as the helmet of Felipe Massa, the racing gloves of Fernando Alonso. Let's take a look below to the hottest things you can buy from this auction.

As you know, only 29 units of the Ferrari 599XX have been produced. For this special occasion, they have created the 30th. The car will be delivered to the new owner straight to Monza from Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso during the Italian F1 Gran Prix. Base price: 1.300.000€
