Over the weekend, Elton accidentally let it slip that he'd recently bought his partner David a $180,000 Audi R8!

The car, which has a top speed of 160 miles per hour, is sure to turn heads - especially since it's one of only three in Los Angeles!

Perhaps that's why he and David plan to keep it here in Los Angeles for a time - hopefully we see Elton planting one of those purple pumps on a pedal soon!
