A Ferrari auction to raise money for global water access – which cars are on offer?

The One Drop Foundation Annual Gala arrives in Los Angeles for the first time at the acclaimed Audrey Irmas Pavilion.

The auction made its debut on October 6, 2025, with an intimate preview dinner hosted at the Dorchester Collection’s Beverly Hills Hotel.

Limited to just 45 guests, the seated dinner offered a first look at the evening’s highlight: Ferrari Beverly Hills’ exceptional donation.

That is, granting the right to purchase Ferrari’s forthcoming 2026 flagship models, including its most anticipated new releases.

There’s no word on which exact models are up for grabs just yet.

But with cars like the F80, and the Amalfi coming down the pipeline at the Italian manufacturers, there’s cause to be excited.

And that’s not forgetting the EV supercar that’s on the horizon.

Giacomo Mattioli, Owner and President/CEO of the Mattioli Automotive Group, which owns Ferrari Beverly Hills, unveiled the Ferrari Auction Lot for the One Drop Foundation LA Gala.

To say that the winning bidder would secure an awesome prize would an understatement of epic proportions.

The winning bidder will bypass global waiting lists to gain access to Ferrari’s most exclusive upcoming model.

In addition to the vehicle purchase (sold separately), the winning bidder will receive a private visit to Ferrari’s legendary Maranello factory, with behind-the-scenes access, and get to participate in Ferrari’s Corso Pilota driving program, led by world-class instructors.

And on top of all that, it’s in aid of a worthy and important cause.

The One Drop Foundation has been raising funds for years to create solutions for the water crisis.

Since 2007, the group’s efforts have transformed the lives of nearly three million people across Latin America, Africa, and India.

Selling cars for good causes

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen cars go up for auction to raise funds for valuable causes.

You might recall that Freddie Mercury’s Rolls-Royce Shadow went up for auction back in 2022, with all of the proceeds going to a charity that provided aid to Ukrainian war victims.

And lest we forget, a car number plate once fetched an astonishing $9.5 million for the 1 Billion Meals campaign.

Talk about a win-win – getting some awesome cars and helping to make a difference.
