Our 3D scanning team has helped produce a custom Maserati for Jodie Kidd’s participation in a celebration of Italian brands, food and wine.
The inaugural ‘Best of Italy’ Festival this will take place between September 16-18 in Castell’Arquato, Italy. Over 150+ Supercars and Motorbikes, as well as 500 top cyclists will take part in this celebration of all things Italian.
As part of this the event organisers commissioned GT Forte Ltd to produce an exclusive one-off custom Maserati, based on the 2001 Maserati 320S concept car, to be driven at the event by supermodel Jodie Kidd.
The base car used was a Maserati 4200 Spyder, redesigned to replicate the original ‘barchetta’ style of the 320S, with a small windscreen in front of the driver, a visible roll-over bar with aerodynamic fairing in the rear, and a closed passenger side without a seat.
Our PES Scanning team were asked by GT Forte to undertake a detailed 3D scan of the upper surfaces of the base car’s bodywork. This provided the necessary data which was used by the car’s project team to make the new modified body parts as accurately as possible, to ensure a perfect fit.
Mike, head of the scanning team commented; “This was a really interesting project and we were happy to support GT Forte in completing it. The car looked very good on its unveiling at Brooklands Museum recently, and we look forward to seeing it back in its Italian homeland this September.”
