Marc TRAUTMANN and his crew photographed the new BMW Gran Lusso, designed by Pininfarina, in the unique mountain areas of Cortina D'Ampezzo and Antinori for BMW.
They recently unveiled the car to the public at the ‘Concorso d'Eleganza’ at Villa D'Este in May 2013.
As homage to the Gran Tourismo from the 1960s and 70s they produced the pictures on locations that were significant to the European jet set society of the ‘60s and ‘70s.
Marc told GoSee: ‘this 12-cylinder car has an elegant lightness to it. It makes you dream of driving through the alpine passage of Paris or Milan to the south in this beautiful car.’
Philip Schlegel from BMW accompanied him on this charming trip.
Andreas Hofmann supervised the production, Stefan Eisele c/o GoSee member SEMD carried out the post-production, Felix Engelhardt was the digital operator and Sven Kuhlenkamp was the lighting assistant on set.
