Justin Bieber
's garage
has no respite: the singer is a self-confessed fan of cars and, although he often commits the occasional "sacrilege" in the eyes of purists when customizing them, his collection continues to add new and luxurious members.
The last to come into his hands was a
Porsche 968 L'Art
, an edition of a single copy –one off, in English– that is based on the coupe of the 90s, but with a purely artistic approach.
Indeed, the vehicle is the result of the collaboration between the German brand and L'Art de L'Automobile, the Parisian firm that buys, sells and customizes
ultra-premium cars
under the premise that its own name anticipates: for them, each car it is a unique piece, and deserves to be treated –and intervened– as such.
Porsche 968 L'Art
Originally presented in 2021 for Paris Fashion Week
, after 18 months of work, this Porsche 968 L'Art is clearly identifiable by its bodywork reminiscent of a Porsche Speedster, green in color and cups in the same color.
Characteristics that give it its stamp and that are also the protagonists of the two fashion capsules launched on the occasion of its debut in society.

But the story does not end with its external appearance: inside, the attention to detail is also extreme and top-of-the-line elements stand out such as the Recaro seats in ECCO Leather EL3 leather, or the Tag Heuer chronometer, as well as a unique steering wheel and a Bose audio system specially designed for this release.
Porsche 968 L'Art by Justin Bieber.
Produced between 1992 and 1995,
the Porsche 968 on which Bieber's new toy is based was initially intended as an evolution of the Porsche 944
, sharing up to 80% of components with that model.
It was available with two engines, both 3-liter and four-cylinder in-line: a 16-valve engine that delivered 240 CV and an 8-valve turbo that reached 370 CV.

Justin Bieber: all his crazy things with cars
Of all the brands,
Ferrari
may be Bieber's favorite: throughout his public life, three of the brand's sports cars were known to him, starting with an F430, one of the first cars in which he was seen, the one he most Later he was joined by a LaFerrari – the number one hybrid of the Prancing Horse, a nearly 1,000-hp beast valued at $2.5 million – and a 458 Italia.
Justin Bieber's cars - Rolls-Royce Wraith.
It was this last Ferrari that
put him in the eye of the storm for car lovers and for the house of Maranello itself: he
bought it in 2013 in the typical red of the brand, but in the four years that he had it in his power painted it white, blue and bright sky blue.
And in his most careless times he admitted to having lost track of him for days, or even weeks.
Justin Bieber's cars - Fisker Karma.
As a result, from Ferrari they were strict:
they directly included him in their blacklist
– the same one that already includes many other celebrities of his caliber – and they will never sell him any personalized unit again.

But they were not the only cars "victims" of his desire for intervention:

, similar to the English brand's 103EX prototype.

And what about the Cadillac CTS V Coupe that Bieber decided he wanted to transform into his own Batmobile.
Justin Bieber's cars - Bugatti Veyron.
And when it comes to speed, even though they don't give the note for their customization, the 612 CV Porsche 997 Turbo stands out, a red Bugatti Veyron – the first car from the French brand to exceed 400 kilometers per hour and establish a new record– or the always eccentric Fisker Karma, another of the cars that the singer drove throughout his life and which, in his case,
