The very first hand built Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate has raised 750,000 CHF for charity, taking centre stage of a glittering auction at the Action Innocence Charity Gala in Gstaad, Switzerland.
The first example of the highly
desirable coupe model was donated by Aston Martin Lagonda and became the
star lot of the auction as it accelerated beyond estimates to support
the auction’s proceeds, which totalled upwards of 4 million CHF and will
benefit the online safety foundation’s work in Switzerland.
Attendees
at the prestigious philanthropic event included honorary president
Penelope Cruz, master of ceremonies Elsa Zylberstein, actor Christophe
Lambert and singer songwriter Mika, who delivered a special performance
for the collective of VIP guests in attendance at Gstaad Airport.
Billed
as a ferocious farewell to Aston Martin’s Super GT flagship, the DBS
770 Ultimate is the most powerful production Aston Martin ever made.
Built in strictly limited numbers, all examples of the highly desirable
model were sold ahead of its release last month.
The special
model sold at charity auction is in Aston Martin’s Ultramarine Black
paint, with Trophy Silver livery touches and a Q by Aston Martin Cote
d'Azure Blue interior.
