On Friday night, McLaren Beverly Hills participated in the seventh annual One Night for One Drop, the philanthropic event imagined by Cirque du Soleil, which raised a total of $1,117,155. For the charitable occasion, the McLaren 570S Spider by McLaren Special Operations (MSO) was auctioned for $310,000, for an estimated value is $300,000 USD.
The event took place at the “O” Theatre at Bellagio Resort & Casino and featured an exclusive lineup of six spectacular live auction items and experiences. All proceeds will directly support One Drop’s safe water access initiatives around the world as well as educational efforts throughout the Las Vegas community.
The specially designed and manufactured McLaren 570S Spider in Muriwai White dubbed the “2019 One Night for One Drop 1 of 1” is part of the exclusive limited unique six car collection “Racing Through the Ages” bespoke by MSO in the UK.
