Lotus 72D Collector's Edition Car


This ostentatious little beauty is a new 35th anniversary edition of the commemorative edition type 72D from Lotus. The edition is a tribute to the Lotus 72D's Formula 1 championship race car. The limited edition Lotus Elise will have gold wheels and gold pinstriping as well as a decorative helmet with a display case. There will be 50 of these cars worldwide with just 20 set to end up in the U.S. and they are expected to sell for under $60,000.

Schumacher Gets A Piece Of The World

Mariah Carey may have gotten a diamond necklace from a prince but race car driver Michael Schumacher received an even higher ticket item. Dubai's crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has gifted the Formula One driver with a piece of The World, the manmade island development located off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. Schumacher's island is part of 'Antarctica' on the artificial globe, is worth about $7 million.

The World has attracted some big names so Schumacher is in excellent company. Richard Branson has visited, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are believed to have checked it out and Michael Jackson has stopped by and David Beckham and Rod Stewart are also rumored owners. When completed the development will also be home to several lavish hotels.
