After an American car collector bid a massive €1.4 million ($1.76 million) for this, the 599XX Evo, Ferrari easily managed to raise €1.8 million ($2.26 million) that will go towards helping the victims of last month’s devastating earthquakes that have taken lives and left people homeless.

While the Ferrari 599XX Evo raised the most money thanks to its exclusive status, money was raised by an F60 nose cone and the F2008 engine which won the Constructors' World Title in 2008.

"A pole position result: I knew I could count on the big-heartedness of the Ferraristi but they've still managed to surprise me once again," declared Ferrari Chairman, Luca di Montezemolo. "I would like to thank all the clients, collectors and enthusiasts that did their bit. Their bids have sent out a message of warmth and solidarity to the people in our region affected by this tragedy."
