Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Versace Roadster

This one-of-a-kind Lambo just auctioned for $500,000, with the proceeds going to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.


Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Versace Roadster 2

When Lamborghini unveiled the Versace edition last fall, only ten were to be made. All hardtops, all painted white with a small black design on each door. That's all been flipped upside-down for number eleven. This one is topless, black, and has a small white design in the bottom corner of each door (but of course the same gorgeous Versace interior.) And while all ten coupes were sold through a regular process, the roadster was sold at auction for $500,000, with proceeds going to the Elton John AIDS foundation. See the Sir himself below, posing for a picture with Giancarlo Di Risio, Versace S.p.A. and Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. We just don't know who the bigger winner was here-the foundation or the winner of this über-hot one-off.
