Justin Bieber has been given an electric car for his 18th birthday.
The 'Baby' hitmaker - who reached the milestone age today was presented with a luxury 2012 Fisker Karma vehicle with a solar-panelled roof by his manager Scooter while appearing on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'
Presenting the teen star with the car, Scooter said: 'You work really, really hard. I always yell at you don't get anything flashy. You know, we're not about that. Be humble, be humble and I kind of broke my own rule.
'So we wanted to make sure you were environmentally friendly and we wanted to make sure since you love cars that when you're on the road you are always environmentally friendly and we decided to get you a car that would make you stand out.
'I think you know where I'm going and you're kind of freaking out right now.'
Celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Ashton Kutcher have also taken delivery of the trendy supercar.
The $100,000 Fisker Karma has a 2 litre - 4 hybrid engine and more than competes with typical gas guzzling sports cars as it can go from 0-60 miles per hour in under 6 seconds with a top speed of 125 miles per hour.
Luxurious touches include keyless entry, bucket seats, and diamond dust in the paint. But there the similarities end.
One of the stunning features of the eco-luxuriant motor is the solar glass roof. The car can actually use the energy captured by the roof to assist the lithium-ion batteries in powering the dual electric motors. And it can do an economical 100 miles per gallon.
The Karma features two driving modes, Stealth Mode for optimal relaxed and efficient electric driving and Sport Mode to access the vehicle's full power.
While it may not be in reach of ordinary mortals, the Karma is highly sought after among the high rollers in the green community.
Justin's new luxury car joins his £100,000 customised Range Rover, which had a sound system worth £50,000, leather interior, modified paintwork and a Cosworth engine.
Additionally, Justin owns a Batman-themed customised Cadillac and a Ferrari.
