Ferrari F430 Special For Abruzzo


Staking out a very safe place as Ferrari's highest development of the production mid-engine V8 berlinetta - thus far, at least - the F430 has seen a 5-year lifespan, and will soon be replaced. When the final car rolls off the line later this year, it will be auctioned off to support the people impacted by the recent earthquake at Abruzzo.

The auction will be conducted by RM Auction this Sunday, May 17, and will be for the rights to the last F430, which will be painted with a unique two-tone livery in the colors of Aquila, the city hit hardest by the earthquake. Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo will also include a signed certificate and a personalized dedication plate to the winning bidder.
