Standard prosperity symbols are not acceptable at an Elton John celebration. Fortunately, Kanye West is not averse to driving ostentatious automobiles and fashion-forward eyewear.

The rapper travels in a Stirling Moss limited edition Mercedes-Benz SLR worth $1.7 million. The Daily Mail reports that Kanye and his companion were en route to the Hotel du Cap in Cap d’Antibes for the amfAR dinner and auction.

With his black tuxedo and rare supercar, Kanye West resembles James Bond; therefore, he requires a Bond lady. Later that day, Kanye West and Naomi Campbell co-hosted the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala.

The uncommon supercar was produced in a limited edition of 75, so it is unlikely that Kanye possesses one. This uncompromising vehicle lacks a windscreen and canopy for the protection of the pilot and passenger. Rearward of the driver and passenger are two air vents. Due to the elevated side skirts of the Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss, the designers opted for swing-wing doors with forward-opening mechanisms.

The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine of the limited-edition model generates 650 horsepower and has a top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h). It can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.5 seconds.
