Luca di Montezimolo auctions his own Ferrari 599 GTB for charity

For a lot of us, seeing a Ferrari in the flesh elicits any number of reactions, however the most prevalent of those actions involves taking out our mobile phones and snapping a photo or two of the car with some element of ourselves in the frame as visual evidence that we were actually there.

The aura of the Prancing Horse is so intoxicating that at some point in our lives, all of us have secretly wished of owning one at some point or another.

Well, our dreams are about to come true – if we had a deep enough set of pockets of course. A Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is being offered in an online auction with the proceeds going to benefit a charity that provides funding for young researches working on projects involving technological innovation.

You might wonder why someone would sell their Ferrari 599 GTB just so he can give away the money to charity, when you are Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo, you can do whatever you want.
