The campaign was shot by fashion photographer Norman Jean Roy and designed by Natasha Royt, a well-known stylist.

"She talks about this nomadic lifestyle--living in Paris, living in New York--and we thought it was a great way to capture the spirit of the Gran Turismo," says Patrick McKenna, BMW's director of marketing. But really it's all about capturing the attention of affluent women.

And like it or not, they say there are some generalizations that hold true now and forever: Women opt for practicality, men for power.
