Naomi Campbell, supermodel extraordinaire, and supposed former flame of Eric Clapton’s, has teamed up with Lotus and put her name on a eight brand new, bespoke, Evoras that are being auctioned off with the proceeds going to Haiti relief funds.They’re calling it, “Naomi For Haiti”.
Three “Naomi For Haiti” Lotus Evoras have already been auctioned off at Ms. Campbell’s Fashion For Relief charity fashion show that has already supported numerous relief efforts around the world, including having a charity fashion show to support the relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina devastated so many.
Naomi said of the efforts, “I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has generously donated their time and effort to make Fashion For Relief happen. I’m thrilled with the support from Lotus and to have teamed up with my great friend Gino Rosato for this important cause. I hope we continue to raise as much awareness and funds as we can.”
There are still five “Naomi For Haiti” Evoras left. I’m not sure if anyone that comes to RawAutos can actually afford to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a car, but hey, stranger things have happened. So if you do have the means, please, go to Naomiforhaiti.com and put in a bid to help others. You have until the 28th of February.
The first two Lotus Evoras that were auctioned off at the Fasion For Relief event were sold for upwards of 300,000 GBP, or roughly $463,420. The first car was actually sold to Naomi’s boyfriend Vladimir Doronin, who wanted the very first one and bought it at 320,000 GBP, or exactly $494,300. Now that, my friends, is a man who was getting some good lovin’ that night…
