Whether you think pop artist Romero Britto’s Bentley Continental is gorgeous or ghastly, you can’t deny that it’s charitable. The painted luxury sports car was created for Romero Britto’s ‘Come to My World’ exhibit at Berlin’s Automobil Forum Unter den Linden.
After the exhibition closes on September 6, Romero Britto’s Bentley Continental will be auctioned off. All proceeds will go towards multiple sclerosis research and the social integration of the mentally disabled, according to Luxist.
