A $1m electric Mini Cooper awarded to James Blunt in April, has been taken off the singer after he trashed the car.
The pollution-free car, one of only two in the world, was given to Blunt by Hybrid Technologies, who were developing the car with NASA.In April, when Blunt was awarded the car, a spokesperson for Hybrid Technologies said "James Blunt is a great example of artists who are working to raise awareness about the importance of our environment. And with artists and executives willing to show fans everywhere the benefits of ecologically responsible behavior in their everyday lives, we believe over time we can encourage more and more consumers to drive Smart Cars and have a meaningful impact on the environment."
All Blunt managed to do was show the world that he was a "petrol head".
"There was no petrol, no fumes and it was the fastest car I've ever been in - totally silent, like a stealth Mini," he said in May.
The car, which runs on lithium-ion batteries, is expected to go into production next year.
