One-off James Bond Lotus Evora up for grabs

Although this one-off James Bond Lotus Evora isn’t as significant as the gadget-packed 1964 Aston Martin DB5 that was lately sold for £2.6 million, it’s a great buy at a mere £44,995 (about $71,530). Available at auction in Britain, this car has never been actually driven by James Bond, and we might never see it on the big screen. Instead, this Evora has been painted in iconic livery to evoke the Lotus Esprit, which was driven by James Bond in the 1981 film For Your Eyes Only. Kevin Smith, a spokesman for Lotus Cars USA, said that the James Bond 2010 Lotus Evora was specially built by Lotus for a press event in the French Alps.

The one-of-a-kind car has done 12,932 miles since 2009 and it comes complete with a ski rack at an extra cost. There were rumors that the 2010 Evora could be the next Bond car, but that’s not going to happen. The car is being offered for sale at Lotus Silverstone, a British dealership.

Beckham’s used Porsche 911 Turbo auctioned off for $217,100

David and Victoria Beckham are known for their lavish lifestyle and making a style statement in whatever they do. Recently, David’s customized Porsche 911 Turbo went up for sale on eBay. The custom-built 2008 matte-black Porsche was able to fetch a record price of $217,100 for their used and completely customized Porsche. The black Porsche is fitted with heated front seats with Beckham’s Los Angeles Galaxy jersey number (23) stitched into the headseats, blacked-out headlamps, black alloy wheels, a sports exhaust system, a 23”emblazoned Porsche logo, parking assist, module for telephone PCM and remote CD changer. While a 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo sells for $132,800, this $217,100 price tag is what is known as “The Beckham effect.”
