Famous names are known for getting around in cars that cost the same as most people's mortgage (1). But these days, their vehicles don't only justify the price tag (2) with their comfort, style and speed. Green credentials are becoming just as important.
Hollywood stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz and Dwayne Johnson are well known eco-warriors. But you might be shocked by who else is tootling around town in an environmentally-friendly car…
Britain's new King, Charles III, has long been an advocate for sustainability. And, fittingly for a monarch, his vintage Aston Martin is something really special. Charles's ride - a 21st birthday present from his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth - dates back to well before the current generation of electric cars. It actually runs on surplus (3) wine! As a result, the sporty number apparently smells as well as looks delicious, so it's not surprising that Prince William chose it to drive his new bride Kate away in after their wedding.
On the other side of the Atlantic, rapper will.i.am loves cars as much as music it seems, given his vast (4) collection of custom ones. Among these is a super high-tech Tesla Model S. White with tinted windows and a grill-like structure on the front that looks like a smile, it makes quite an impression even in the exclusive LA neighbourhood where its owner lives.
During his own recent stay in LA, British star James Corden seems to have caught the taste for mean green motors, joining his Hollywood mates by switching (5) to a hybrid. We should add that the rather swish Porsche was not the vehicle he was seen in during his famous show Carpool Karaoke. (He didn't even drive that one, it was towed!)
Kylie Jenner is always a trendsetter as well as a fashion queen, so naturally she's had an eco-friendly Ferrari Aperta nestled in her garage for quite some time. Admittedly, the petite vehicle isn't the most practical for days out with the kids, but it's still a pretty sweet ride.
