MV AGUSTA’S “BRUTALE” FIGHT AGAINST AIDS
Company donated “Lewis Hamilton” #limitededition Brutale auctioned off at #amfar yearly gala in Cannes on May 23rd
Schiranna, Italy, May 24th 2019 - MV Agusta announces the donation of a #limitededition Brutale 800 RR LH44 motorbike to #amfar, the foundation supporting AIDS research, auctioned off in Cannes at their star-studded yearly gala #event, Thursday May 23rd, during the #cannesfilmfestival.
The #event, one of the most celebrity-dense of the entire Festival, took place at prestigious Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes, and included the LH44 Brutale designed by #amfar Gala Cannes #event Chair #lewishamilton. Produced as a #limitededition series of only 144 units, it features the British champion’s number “44”, which he ran victoriously on all Formula 1 tracks. The 140 HP, 3 inline-cylinder engine Brutale 800 LH44 is a true design icon inspired by a racetrack legend. It did very well at the auction as it reached more than six times its retail price.
Over the years, #amfar has managed to raise more than $220 Million through their yearly gala auction in Cannes, funding AIDS research around the world. The #amfar gala auction, this year in its 26th edition, is a highly anticipated #event for Festival regulars and featured, in addition to MV’s #lewishamilton Brutale, a number of paintings, sculptures and other highly exclusive items.
Timur Sardarov said: “I am delighted MV Agusta could support #amfar in their efforts to fight AIDS. I know many of the guests who attended the #event are MV fans, and some of them already are proud MV owners. The #brutale800rrlh44 is a rare gem, and I am proud that it contributed to help #amfar continue with the incredible work they’re doing.”
