Lotus has created a one-of-a-kind Freddie Mercury-edition Evora S in honor of late Queen singer. It's set to be auctioned off for charity as part of a celebration of what would have been Mercury's 65th birthday. Proceeds from the auction will go to the Mercury Phoenix Trust -- an HIV AIDS charity founded by the singer's bandmates.

The car, a coupe, is ivory with a red and gold racing stripe that runs across the top of the car. The interior is also yellow in, according to autoblog.com, an homage to a 1986 stage costume worn by Mercury.

On Monday (Sept. 5), Mercury would have been 65 years old. He died from AIDS complications in 1991.

Apparently Olorin, the interior is gonna be ENTIRELY yellow like Freddie's jacket.

That's the reason for the lack of yellow on the outside.
