If you have ever celebrated a winning occasion by singing "We are the Champions," then the identity of Freddie Mercury hasn't escaped your attention. Best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Queen, Mercury was an iconic singer and songwriter with a flamboyant personality and inspirational talent. This year marks what would be the singer's 65th birthday and Lotus->ke49 is celebrating "one of rock's greatest all-time entertainers" by creating a special edition Evora->ke3240 S that will be auctioned on September 5, 2011, with all proceeds going to the Mercury Phoenix Trust (an aids charity set up by Queen after Freddie's death).

This special Evora S will be painted in white with a deep red stripe down the middle and will feature a yellow interior. These colors are symbolic as they were chosen to match Freddie’s 1986 "Magic tour" Wembley concert costume. Other choice features for the Evora S include a union flag on the back of the seats and the incorporation of a crown which hints at Freddie’s playful royal role-play. Finishing off the tributary Evora is an inscription on the front fenders that makes a reference to the Montreux Freddie memorial statue, stating "Lover of life. Singer of song."

The auction will take place on September 5, 2011 at the Savoy Hotel in London, where 300 friends and well-wishers will attempt to 'be Freddie for a day' by dressing up as the famous musician.

If you don't happen to win the car, there are a slew of other auction pieces fit for any Queen fan. Hit the jump to check them out!
