Will.i.am's latest ride - custom-built 1959 Chevrolet Corvette

He famously tracked down a the rare DeLorean DMC-12 - famous for being the time machine in Back To The Future. So Will.i.am had to pull out all the stops to top his efforts with his latest ride.

And the Black Eyed Peas star may have just done so in the form of a 1959 Chevrolet Corvette. The red car with white panels was custom-made last year for the rapper at luxury automotive restyling centre West Coast Customs in Corona, California.

The car features a '59 Corvette C1 body on a custom-made tube chassis with 2008 Corvette running gear and interior. There is also an iPad built into the centre console.
