Kate Upton was really big last year, after her super bowl ad for the Mercedes CLA. But during the shooting for this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, she was too busy floating around in zero gravity. And so, the next big car+girl pairing on our horizon could involve the Italian trident brand and legendary supermodel Heidi Klum.
Not only the brand new Ghibli sedan, but also the GranTurismo, Quattroporte and McStradale Trofeo were featured in a special pictorial.

While Heidi isn't wearing a bikini in any of the shots, they still ooze beauty. The general vibe is that like the goddess of German-American fashion, who looks good in an evening dress or fire-resistant overalls, Maserati makes a car for every occasion.

Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini was behind the lens for the photo shoot, which is being featured in the 2014 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, a 50th anniversary issue.

“I had a great time driving the new Maseratis for their new campaign shot by Francesco Carrizoni,” said Klum.

“We started our next 100 years of craftsmanship by kicking off 2014 with the launch of one of the best received Super Bowl commercials, ‘Strike’, featuring all new Maserati Ghibli, and extending the brand to another massive cultural icon, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 50th Anniversary issue,” said Maserati CEO Harald Wester.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
