Especially painted in Rosso Berlinetta with a choice of black or camel shade upholstery, this exclusive F12 Berlinetta will drive in with special customization options – The buyer may ask for its hood to be signed by F1 drivers. The coupe will be delivered with an official letter recognizing its status as the first in North America. As an added benefit, the new owner may attend the Ferrari Corso Pilota driving course at a location of their choice (Fiorano, Italy or Mont-Tremblant, Canada). The proceeds from the auction will be donated directly to the American Red Cross to help the victims of Sandy.
