Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate fetches 750,000 Swiss francs at charity auction

The first hand-built Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate raised CHF 750,000 for charity, taking centre stage at a glittering auction at the Action Innocence Charity Gala in Gstaad, Switzerland.

The first example of the coveted Coupe model was donated by Aston Martin Lagonda and became the star lot of the auction, as it accelerated beyond estimates to bolster auction proceeds, which totalled over CHF 4 million and will benefit the work of the online safety foundation in Switzerland.

Attendees at the prestigious philanthropic event included honorary chairwoman Penélope Cruz, master of ceremonies Elsa Zylberstein, actor Christophe Lambert and singer-songwriter Mika, who gave a special performance for the collective of VIP guests attending the Gstaad airport.

Heralded as a fierce farewell to Aston Martin's flagship Super GT, the DBS 770 Ultimate is the most powerful production car Aston Martin has ever made. Built in strictly limited numbers, all examples of the highly desirable model were sold before its launch last month.

The special model sold at a charity auction features Aston Martin's Ultramarine Black paintwork, with touches of Trophy Silver livery and a Q by Aston Martin Cote d'Azure Blue interior.

Andreas Bareis, Presidente regionale di Aston Martin in Europa, ha dichiarato: "Siamo lieti di contribuire al gala di beneficenza Action Innocence, che è diventato uno degli eventi filantropici più importanti nella località di Gstaad, una destinazione chiave per Aston Martin e i nostri clienti in Europa.

È fantastico vedere questo modello unico DBS 770 Ultimate raccogliere fondi così significativi per beneficenza e generare un incredibile entusiasmo al Gala, essendo un modello così iconico nell'impressionante portafoglio prodotti di Aston Martin".
