The guest list was limited to celebrities and Ferrari&#8217;s top clients, all of whom got their first peek at Ferrari&#8217;s F430 replacement. <\/p>\n<p>As part of the event, the very first 458 Italia designated for the U.S. was auctioned off for charity to the highest bidder with 100% of the proceeds going to benefit Haiti through the CMBB (Catholic Medical Mission Board) and the William J. Clinton Foundation. The guests were in a particularly giving mood, and a top bid of $530,000 took the car home. In addition to the 458 Italia, Ferndando Alonso&#8217;s F1 racing suit and two Scuderia Ferrari team member trips to the Canadian Grand Prix in June raised an additional $72,000. <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s still no word on when the common folk will get to see the 458 Italia here in the United States. Ferrari will not be among the exhibitors at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/category\/new-york-auto-show\/\">New York Auto Show<\/a>, but we fully expect Ferrari to bring the cars to Monterey during the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/PebbleBeach\/\">Pebble Beach<\/a> weekend.
