Feeding America is a hunger relief organization whose mission is to feed America’s hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage the country in the fight to end hunger. The Feeding America network is the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States including in disasters and national emergencies, working with 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs across the country. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the most vulnerable people need assistance more than ever. Feeding America has launched a COVID-19 Response Fund, a national food- and fund-raising effort to support people facing hunger and the food banks who help them. RM Sotheby’s has joined forces with the consignor to donate a portion of the proceeds from the successful sale of the LaFerrari Aperta in the coming week to the Response Fund.

Now showing just 175 miles and presented in virtually new condition, the 2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta on offer was delivered new to an American Ferrari collector, attractively ordered with optional Giallo Triplo Strato paint with complementary yellow accents throughout the black interior. The car’s many options include exterior carbon-fiber trim, yellow brake calipers, sport exhaust pipes, racing stripe, 20-inch forged black wheels, large seat cushions, and the Ferrari horse stitched on the headrests.
