The Ford Mustang GT Fastback which saves Steve McQueen's neck in Bullit, Bardot who lets herself be seduced by Palance in his Alfa-Roméo 2600 Spider in Le Mépris, John Lennon who decorates his Rolls-Royce Phantom with psychedelic shapes, Vin Diesel who defies the law of gravity in his Dodge Charger.
In movies as in real life, stars and cars have formed emblematic duos which epitomise an era, a generation or an attitude. Gentlemen, musicians, reckless car drivers or legendary spies, they share with us their love of speed and beautiful mechanics.
Jacques Braunstein, a journalist at GQ and former editor-in-chief at Technikart, is the author of two graphic novels as well as one novel. He used to drive a Lancia coupé 1970 and then an Audi Quattro 1984 before giving up and buying a motorcycle like most Parisians.
