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 is celebrating "one of rock’s greatest all-time entertainers" by creating a special edition Evora 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! Auction Pieces for the Freddie Mercury Bash include: A money can’t buy prize of a Top Gear driving lap with the Stig
6 comments: Lotus Evora S for Mercury Phoenix Trust This one is absolutely looks so cool on its graphic design. Well, Evora is more a good-looking vehicle now than on its previous appearance. Anyway, its latest technology is very interesting!
 In the long run this car, technically one of the most aesthetically well done. From the red stripe line on the center car. It turn to be more attractive and eye catching sports car.
 Very nice on how they named it after the legendary band Queen’s vocalist, let’s hope that the Mercury Phoenix Trust would also support of the band’s fans.
 I only known this band through their music but I haven’t been on any of their concert. I’m not really a fan. I think the oldies will appreciate more this article. However, I like the words that was written on his statue.
 The paint job of the car is quite aggressive! I like the combination of white and deep red stripes on the vehicle. I wonder if they have makes an increase on the figure performance for the Evora?
