Pop icon Dua Lipa arrived in style for the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed with a custom Porsche 911 GT3 RS worth more than $1 million.
The bespoke supercar designed by Dua Lipa was the star of Porsche's display as she cruised up the fabled hill climb alongside racers from the all-female Iron Dames team.

This one-off Porsche will go under the hammer, auctioned off by RM Sotheby's, with proceeds going to the Sunny Hill Foundation, a charity that supports Kosovan causes including giving young women access to STEM education.
'I wanted to create something that fuses the emotion of music, design, and driving,' Dua Lipa said.
'The Sunny Hill Foundation has always been close to my heart, and this project is a celebration of the culture and creativity it supports.'

Under the skin, the special Porsche is equipped with an optional 'Weissach' package featuring a roll cage, roof, and suspension elements made from carbon fibre to save weight.

The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is an aerodynamic triumph.
Powered by a 4.0-litre flat six engine, the 911 GT3 RS produces 380kW of power at a soaring 9000rpm.
It's not the fastest car in a straight line – 0-100km/h is sorted in 3.2 seconds – but it is one of the quickest cars to lap circuits, thanks to enormous spoilers that generate huge amounts of downforce.
Dua Lipa's car could appeal to collectors – as well as folks who missed out on the model, which is no longer available to order as the brand has introduced a newer, '992.2' series Porsche 911, which is not yet available in GT3 RS trim.

But lightly used examples are listed on websites such as Carsales for around $850,000 drive-away, suggesting Dua Lipa's exclusive example should be worth a seven-figure sum.

Oasis fan slipped on beer before fatal concert plunge

A man who tragically lost his life at an Oasis gig at Wembley Stadium died after reportedly slipping on spilled beer. Lee Claydon, 45, fell from the upper tier during the Gallagher brothers' sold-out performance on Saturday night. The devastating accident occurred as the audience applauded and fireworks lit up the sky at the end of the show. Despite the desperate efforts of medics, Lee was pronounced dead at the scene. Lee, described as a 'devoted father,' attended the concert with his brother Aaron, niece, and nephew, among 100,000 fans. His father, Clive Claydon, 75, told The Sun the incident as 'an accident waiting to happen.' 'There was beer all over the floor, it was really slippery, and Lee just slipped and fell,' Clive said. 'I am devastated and want answers from Wembley about how this could have happened.' Concertgoers have echoed concerns about the slippery conditions. Jade, 31, from Essex, recounted how she stumbled due to spilled drinks, resulting in minor injuries. Oasis released a statement expressing their shock and sadness over the incident, offering condolences to Lee's family and friends. Lee's brother Aaron informed their father of the tragedy. Clive, in tears, recalled his son's enthusiasm for the gig and lamented the loss of a hardworking family man. Lee's partner, Amanda, paid tribute to him as a 'devoted father, soulmate, and role model,' expressing her heartbreak over his untimely death. A GoFundMe page has been set up by Aaron to support the grieving family, highlighting Lee's role as a loving family man and role model to his son, Harry. A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium stated that the venue operates to high health and safety standards, regularly reviewed and tested to ensure compliance with legal requirements. The Metropolitan Police have called for witnesses to come forward, urging anyone with information or mobile footage of the incident to contact them. Wembley Stadium, along with the London Ambulance Service and police, attended to Lee following the fall. Despite their efforts, he sadly passed away. The police are supporting Lee's family and continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
