Lotus came up with a special edition of the Evora, in honor of dead rock star Freddie Mercury and to celebrate what would have been his 65th birthday.
This special model comes in pearl white with red and gold racing stripes, a color scheme inspired by Mercury’s costume in the “Magic Tour” of 1986. The front fender references the Montreux Freddie memorial statue with the line “Lover of life. Singer of songs.”
At the inside, features a one-off yellow scheme and includes union flags on the backs of the seats.
Lotus Director of Corporate Operations Gino Rosato spoke about the limited edition, saying,
“We were only too happy to contribute to this fantastic cause. We have created something very special to raise money for Mercury Phoenix Trust and we hope the car goes to a collector who really enjoys it.”
The Lotus Evora S Freddie Mercury Edition will be auctioned off today (his birthday) at the Savoy Hotel in London, UK, with the proceeds going to HIV AIDS charity fund, Mercury Phoenix Trust.
