MV Agusta put
together this one of a kind F3 800 sports bike in order to raise funds to
support vulnerable children across the globe. Subsequently, the bike was sold
during a charity auction for no fewer than € 100,000 (US$ 112,000), all proceeds
going to UNICEF.
The F3 800 features
a 798cc inline 3-cylinder engine producing nearly 150 HP at 13,000 rpm, and in
a straight line, it can climb to speeds of more than 240 km/h.
Normally, such a bike would cost € 17,490.
Add the special
UNICEF livery, and the collector who purchased it had to spend nearly 6 times
its regular price, but of course, that’s pretty much how these things go.
This year marked
the second time the ‘UNICEF Summer Gala” was held, with plenty of celebrity
guests making appearances. Among them were Adrien Brody, Alicia Silverstone,
Christopher Walken, Emily Ratajkowski, Zoe Saldana, Adriana Lima and many
others.
