The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano China One-Off has been sold at auction for 1.2 million euros to an anonymous purchaser from Shanghai. The 599 China edition was the first collaboration between Ferrari and a Chinese artist, and shows livery inspired by traditional Chinese porcelain design from artist Lu Hao.

The proceeds from the auction will go to students and young researchers from the automobile engineering department at Tsinghua University. Students may then have the opportunity to study at Milan’s prestigious Polytechnic University for engineers and architects, and complete apprenticeship programs with Ferrari.

Other lots on auction were a suit from Giancarlo Fisichella, a helmet and a 599 GTB model scale signed by Michael Schumacher, who also personally presented the car.
