2009 Maserati GranTurismo.
Atlanta, Georgia. February 20, 2009.

For nine years now, the Lotus Exige has been my all time favorite dreamcar, and I was lucky enough to photograph one in my ideal color, Aspen White.

But after two hours of driving the GranTourismo... I've gotta say... the Exige has been ousted. I really am at a loss for words with this car. It's just staggeringly beautiful, drives like dream, comfortable as hell, and is by far one of the most photogenic- and arguably best looking- cars on the road today.

Yes; I am in love.

Maserati courtesy of Ferrari of Atlanta (as was the Scuderia). I was there for three days photographing some of their inventory. They gave me free reign of everything they had in stock, so between 15+ Maseratis, I made my selection based on exterior color, wheel design, and interior color. I chose this particular model primarily for the exterior color, as I love white exotics.

I also chose this specific model because if I could purchase a GT, this would be it, only with anthracite wheels. This is my dreamcar.

So don't disagree with me or I'll have you killed.

I couldn't photograph the cars off FoA property, so this was photographed in one of their back lots that I had to myself. So. The location could have been loads better, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with what I managed to coax out of an empty parking lot. ;)

Lastly- it seemed inappropriate to give this an English title. I'm so enamored by this car, I thought I would make the series as perfect as possible. Even the titles.

It truly is perfection! I'd pick it in a more eye catching colour-- orange or lime green maybe-- but it's got some amazing curves to it. For an empty parking lot, you really made it work. How did you go about getting permission to shoot all the dealer's cars?

Are you kidding? I'd kill you for a Klondike bar.

:D Thanks bro. Yeah, it's got some amazing lines...
