A cappuccino with... Jodie Kidd A FemaleFirst Exclusive Interview with Maseratti's female champion driver

British supermodel Jodie Kidd is also an excellent golfer, an international polo player, a keen horse-rider and avid about charity work. Since childhood however, her biggest love in life has been motor racing, a passion which has seen her speed up the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, set the fastest Celebrity Lap on Top Gear and finish first in the Trofeo Maserati race at the 2004 Bologna Motor Show.

She is also a proud Maserati owner; indeed, when she isn’t turning heads on the catwalk, she never fails to turn heads in her Maserati GranSport.

We caught up with Jodie for a cup of coffee, and chatted about her passion for all things on four wheels and, in particular, her love of the House of the Trident and its cars.
