The aluminium bodywork of this Audi R8 V10 Spyder has been chromed to within an inch of its life to make it stand out at Sir Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball.
Created by Audi UK, the R8 V10 was auctioned off at the event to raise money for Sir Elton's Aids Foundation, fetching £250,000, but there was so much interest that Audi donated a second car and the total raised was £620,000.
Director of Audi UK Jeremy Hicks said: "Sir Elton John's fundraising ball really is a golden ticket event that is as glamorous as it is hugely effective in fundraising terms. We are delighted, and enormously proud, to support it for a ninth year with the donation of what is arguably our most fittingly glamorous model."
