Justin Bieber was once just a kid singing covers of Justin Timberlake songs on a fledgling site called YouTube.
Now he is practically a household name, with six studio albums to his name, countless collaborations with other major artists of the moment, and a net worth in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Like many of his peers in the music industry
, he is also quite the car collector
. Read on to learn what the Canadian singer keeps in his garage.
Not exactly understated
If you had to sum up the Bieber car collection in one word, you might have to go with “flashy.” HotCars
reports on the wild names that define the “Baby” singer’s auto interests. His Custom Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is potentially the least ostentatious on the list, although its V8 engine does spin up 640 hp. Plus, he apparently bedecked it in Batman regalia in 2011, so if you’d call commissioning your own Batmobile flashy, then so be it.
Speaking of ostentatiousness, Mr. Bieber also owns an enormous Custom Six-Wheeled Hummer H2. Its wide grille is studded with 12 headlights, and the extra set of tires on the back, plus the lengthened back windows, give the jarring impression of a military limo. It’s unclear what the use case for this behemoth would be.
Another unusual car in his garage is his Audi R8. A sleek 5.2L V10 engine-toting sports car, it would be perfectly reasonable were it not for the leopard print paint job. Camouflage it is not.
Some wild customizations
Justin Bieber has a bit of a penchant for purchasing unbelievable cars and then customizing them in, shall we say, unusual ways.
His Lamborghini Aventador, for example, is a lovely light blue, and in a memorable photo he has lifted the scissor door to step inside. The door floats above his foot (he’s in socks with sandals,) and it bears the graffitied legend “CASH ONLY.” The cash required on hand for an Aventador is approximately half a million dollars, if you were curious.
Another memorable customization can be found on his Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG. He once wrapped it entirely with cheerful winter holiday scenes, with Santa Claus and what looks like a penguin from Madagascar prominently featured. You could never accuse him of not getting into the Christmas spirit.
Plus: major speed
And of course, if you’re going to be a famous pop star, you’ll have to throw in a couple of Ferraris.
Mr. Bieber owns a Ferrari F-430 and a Ferrari 458. The F-430, which tops out at 198 mph, is a lovely black matte, and he acquired it at the tender age of 16, says HotCars. The 458 is an unforgettable sky blue, and with a top speed of 210 mph it narrowly edges out the F-430. But really, you can’t go wrong either way.
And to round out the list, here is Mr. Bieber’s flashiest car of all: the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. There are only a few hundred of these in the world, and with the $2 million price tag and 1,000+ horsepower capabilities, you could see why. The young kid who once dazzled the world with his angelic voice is now driving circles around us.
