Brian Johnson, the high-voltage rock'n'roller talks cars




Brian Johnson is in his Sydney hotel trying to decide on his next supercar. The AC/DC lead singer is a car nut. But he’s clearly not a member of the more-money-than-sense club. Back in Florida where he lives, he has a garage full of cars, each carefully, if somewhat randomly, chosen.



Quote from the article:

There is a twin-engined Vespa car, a 1928 4.5 litre Bentley, race cars which he pilots with aplomb, an Audi R8 and a Citroen DS23 Pallas – possibly the most beautiful car ever made.

There’s also a giant black Rolls-Royce Phantom of the kind that graces the cover of his recently released automotive autobiography Rockers and Rollers.

“I am after something really … special,” he says as he flicks through a glossy American luxury car magazine looking for inspiration. “The Ferrari 458 is pretty. I like the new Merc SLS [Gullwing] too.”

While Johnson has enjoyed international stardom for the past 30 years grace of his involvement with one of the most successful rock bands of all time, his love of cars has recently earned him his own place in the spotlight.
