Kanye West definitely knows how to get attention, this time he does it with his car. He stirred up trouble on the streets of Cannes as he rode in a Mercedes McLaren SLR Stirling Moss sport car worth $1.7 million. Ye looked quite the part as he donned a tuxedo behind the wheel of this remarkable vehicle that reaches 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. And if the price isn't enough to show you how exclusive this ride is, keep in mind that only 75 of these cars exist.

He and a friend headed to the Hotel du Cap to attend the amFAR’s Cinema Against Aids gala, and even with a motor that can reach up to 217 mph, Ye kept it at a cool, let's-make-sure-everyone-gets-a-pic speed of 25 mph. On a side note, is anyone else catching the irony of arriving to a charity event in a 1.7 million dollar car?
