Remember that [one-of-a-kind LaFerrari that Ferrari announced it would be auctioning off ](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/6253/one-off-ferrari-laferrari-will-be-auctioned-off-next-week-to-benefit-earthquake-victims>)to benefit earthquake-ravaged central Italy? Well, the Ferraristas at the Finali Mondiali in Florida lived up to their big-spending reputation; [the one-off LaFerrari wound up selling for a whopping $7 million](<https://www.theverge.com/2016/12/5/13840958/ferrari-laferrari-auction-7-million-record-price-charity>).

That figure is roughly five times the original asking price for a new Ferrari LaFerrari, and almost $2 million more than the previous high-water mark for a LaFerrari sold at auction. It’s also enough to make this LaFerrari the most expensive car made in this century to ever sell at auction, according to a press release issued by RM Sotheby’s.

According to the auction house, which threw the special auction as a favor to Ferrari and the National Italian American Foundation’s Earthquake Relief Fund, t[he bidding bounced back and forth for a full 10 minutes before the hammer fell](<https://www.rmsothebys.com/media/release.cfm?id=1276>). The car’s new owner wasn’t mentioned by either Ferrari or RM Sotheby’s, but according to one of the members of the well-informed site FerrariChat, [the supercar—which is clad in a special red-and-black livery with an Italian flag motif and white stripes, and boasts a unique plaque—was ultimately sold to a buyer bidding via telephone](<https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/288gto-f40-f50-enzo-laferrari-sponsored-bradan/531575-ferrari-build-auction-off-laferrari-500-aid-quake-victims-4.html>).

In addition to the special supercar, Ferrari also auctioned off a pair of Scuderia Ferrari F1 racing suits autographed by Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen. Those two items sold for a total of $36,000, which doesn’t seem like all that much to us. Then again, we’ve just spent the last hour thinking about a new car that sold for $7 million.
