Adam Levine just added another automobile to his his prized multi-million dollar car collection.

On Friday, the Maroon 5 frontman hit the road in Santa Barbara in his brand new Ford Bronco Hennessey Velociraptor 500 that reportedly cost about $70,000.

The singer-songwriter — who recently celebrated his wife Behati Prinsloo’s 35th birthday — looked jazzed when he was  spotted behind the wheel taking a cruise by himself with the windows down and the top off with the sun shining.

This version of the Bronco isn’t something anyone can find parked at a Ford dealership.

It turns out Levine is one of the first people to get his hands on this particular model, which could explain why he looks so happy behind the wheel after splurging on the new ride.

In fact, according to TMZ, the Lucky Strike star is believed to be one of the first people to get his hands on this new Ford Bronco.

The VelociRaptor 500 is said to pack as much power as an old Porsche 911 Turbo with a healthy horsepower figure well north of 400hp, according to Top Gear.

The Los Angeles native could be seen in the driver’s seat wearing a black long-sleeve shirt and his hair dyed closely cropped and dyed platinum blonde.

Levine apparently opted to leave his model wife and their three young children at home so he could enjoy some alone time in his new vehicle.

The car enthusiast has a penchant for rare and expensive cars considering he’s owned 1955 Mercedes-Benz SL300, that he auctioned off for $1.15 million, a vintage Ferrari 365 GTC worth about $685,000, and a 1956 Porsche 356 Speedster worth $413,000, among many others, according to The Sun.

Levine has been living predominantly up in the Santa Barbara area with his family since dropping a whopping $52 million on a sprawling Montecito estate, as reported by Dirt. 

The custom-designed 10,000-square-foot Georgian Colonial-style house was built in 2009 for actor Rob Lowe, and was designed to recall the homes in Lowe’s birthplace of Charlottesville, Virginia.

Set on 3.5 acres in in the picturesque foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountain, the Oakview mansion has views of the bright blue Pacific and the Channel Islands, while containing six bedrooms and eight full baths.

He and his wife have also done well as real estate flippers over the last few years, which included selling a Beverly Hills mansion and a sprawling Pacific Palisades property for healthy profits.

The couple, who have been married since 2014, only just welcomed their third child in January, while already being the proud parents of daughters Dusty, six and Gio, five.

Levine’s new purchase comes in the wake of his sexting scandal that broke publicly while the Namibian model was pregnant with their third child. 

He was accused of sending inappropriate messages to at least five women on Instagram last year.

Levine admitted at the time that he ‘used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in any kind of flirtatious manner,’ in a statement, but maintained, ‘I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period of my life.’ 

He went on to admit that ‘in certain instances it became inappropriate. I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.’ 

The Los Angeles native continued: ‘My wife and my family is all I care about in this world. To be this naïve and stupid enough to risk the only thing that truly matters to me was the greatest mistake I could ever make. I will never make it again.’

It appears the couple have weathered the brunt of the cheating scandal and come out on the other side.
