Maserati gets racy with model Genevieve Morton — see the pics here

25 May, 2015

Maserati’s brochures already exude an air of class and luxury, thanks to the beautifully designed vehicles in their line-up. For 2015, the beauty factor will be turned up a notch, with Maserati choosing top South African model Genevieve Morton to present its vehicle range in the 2015 brochures and a global media campaign.

Morton has already completed one major photo shoot for Maserati, covering its entire range — including the flagship Quattroporte sedan, as well as the new Ghibli sports sedan, and traditional Maserati sports icons the GranTurismo and GranCabrio. You can watch the behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot in the video below:

Covering a range of environments and backdrops, the photo shoots compliment the “style, performance, elegance, and exclusivity of the Maserati range,” according to Maserati. The brochures will be released in both hard copy and digital formats, along with social media content on both Maserati’s and Morton’s social media channels.

Shelby’s targets were Superformance — a South African company that wanted to sell its versions of these cars in the US — and the US-based Factory Five. Their defence was that the name and shape of the Cobra car were abandoned when Shelby American ceased production of these particular models back in the 1960s.
Shelby countered with: “We spent millions of dollars creating the name and the car and winning the world championship. These knock-off-car guys don’t deserve the credit or the profit for what my team and Ford accomplished in the ’60s.”
Superformance painted an even bigger target on its back by also producing a version of Shelby’s Daytona coupé. Other cars in its production stable were Mk1 GT40 and 1962 Corvette Grand Sport replicas, but we’ll focus here on the Daytona.

You can’t get much more of an art deco car than a Cord — so much so that new owners, Paul McCarthy and his wife, Sarah Selwood, went ahead and took their Beverly 812 to Napier’s Art Deco Festival this year, even though the festival itself had been cancelled.
“We took delivery of the vehicle 12 days before heading off to Napier. We still drove it all around at the festival,” says Paul.
The utterly distinctive chrome grille wrapping around the Cord’s famous coffin-shaped nose, and the pure, clean lines of the front wing wheel arches, thanks to its retractable headlamps, are the essence of deco. This model, the Beverly, has the finishing touch of the bustle boot that is missing from the Westchester saloon.
