About this photo
Steve McQueen his AC Cobra on the roads of California
This photograph captures Steve McQueen the wheel of his legendary AC Cobra 289, taken during the filming of the documentary "Le Mans" in 1970. A car enthusiast and accomplished driver, McQueen personally owned this metallic blue Cobra, which he regularly drove on California racetracks. Director Lee H. Katzin captured these images during breaks in filming, showing the actor in his natural element, far from Hollywood sets. This rapport between Steve McQueen and race cars perfectly reflects his genuine passion for speed.
"Le Mans" was a personal project for McQueen, who had invested his own money in this ambitious production. Despite modest box office earnings of $9 million, the film has achieved cult status among car enthusiasts. The actor, already established through "Bullitt" and "The Thomas Crown Affair," wanted to create the ultimate racing film—authentic and free of artistic compromises.
McQueen's rebellious spirit shines through the lens, capturing the essence of a timeless automotive legend.
