Plácido Domingo's Almost Non-Existent Car Collection

Plácido Domingo, the iconic opera legend, has entranced fans around the globe with his booming vocals—but did you know he's also left an unusual footprint in the automotive sphere? Although information about his private car collection is not available, Domingo's interest in technology was apparent when he took the environmentally friendly BMW Hydrogen 7 for a spin as part of a groundbreaking sustainability project. 

Just as he pushed the limits of music, he was embracing the latest technology on the road, demonstrating that his zeal for perfection goes far beyond the opera house.

It’s not every day you find a vehicle like this in a celebrity’s collection—especially when that collection is shrouded in mystery. In 2007, Plácido Domingo received the keys to a BMW Hydrogen 7 sedan as part of BMW’s public awareness campaign on sustainable energy. Even Leonardo DiCaprio believes in environmental-friendly cars. 

Expressing his enthusiasm, Domingo stated, “It is an honor to be taking part in this initiative by BMW to educate, inform, and ultimately impact how we as a society think about alternative energy and the health of our planet.”Given his active role in disaster relief efforts, BMW’s choice to gift him this eco-friendly vehicle was a perfect match.

2007 Saab 9-5 Biopower  

Just like BMW, Saab also leveraged the star power of Plácido Domingo to promote their eco-friendly BioPower technology. While he didn’t own the car, the legendary tenor used the Saab 9-5 BioPower for his daily travels during his stay in Spain. 

This innovative vehicle, capable of running on a petrol-ethanol blend, reduced emissions and eased the strain on limited fuel reserves. Given Domingo’s deep commitment to environmental causes, the Saab 9-5 BioPower was a fitting companion for his sustainable lifestyle.
