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:

Pagani Zonda 760LH

People have talked alot about the upcoming, special one-off Zonda 760LH ordered by F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, and finally someone has snapped some quick shoots while the car was inside the Pagani factory.



He has placed his order to the most powerful street-legal Zonda ever made, asking for it to be purple with many components with the naked carbon such as the roof, airscoop, the spoiler, side skirt and other elements. Most of the Pagani's of today comes with a flappy paddles gearbox, but this one will comes with a 6-speed gearbox.

And I have to say, it looks quite similar to the one-off Zonda 750 that was ordered by Al-Thani, but then never produced.
