Justin Bieber Driving a “Swag” Smart Car = The Best Thing You’ll See All Day

Two years ago on his eighteenth birthday, Justin Bieber bought himself a very small black compact electric car called a Smart Car. He calls it a “Swag Car.” It’s a “little smart for two.” It looks like a glorified golf cart.

It’s an Electric Car
What is smart about this car is that it is an electric car. It takes 16 hours to charge this car from empty to full. The car can travel 84 miles between charges. Charging stations are starting to pop up all over the country. It is as simple to hook this electric car up to a charger as it is to put gas into a gas operated vehicle. As the gas prices rise, more and more people are thinking hybrid or electric car. If you are thinking about getting one, you might want to know more about the car.

The Motor
For starters, the car can go from 0 to 60 in less than 13 seconds. The tiny three cylinder engine is tucked away under the floor space in the trunk. It has a five-speed transmission that works better on the highway than in the city. You might be thinking, would I be comfortable driving such a small car?

Size
Because of the size of the car, it can easily fit into smaller spaces than a regular size car. In fact, two fortwo Smart cars can take up the same parking space as one regular sized car. Even though it looks like a grown person won’t fit, it can actually fit two people who are over six feet tall. If you have ever ridden or driven a two-seater sports car, you should find this car comfortable.

Models
Justin Bieber owns the W 451 model, which is part of the Fortwo Edition Limited One. The car is available as a couple or a cabriolet.

But is it Safe
The fortwo comes with front and side airbags, seat belts, force distribution and anti-lock brakes. The car was rated good in front and side crash tests and acceptable in rear crash tests.

Other Features
It comes with air-conditioning, cup holder and a coin holder. There are optional features you can order which include fog lamps, power steering, smart radio with USB and AUX an anti-theft device and a 6 CD disc player.
