Click for hi-res gallery of Maserati's Salon Privé Ladies' Day
English grammar doesn't assign gender to inanimate objects, but if there was ever any doubt that Italian sportscars were feminine, Maserati's latest event should put the issue to rest. The Trident marque's British subsidiary recently hosted a special event just for female clients. Held at the exclusive Hurlingham Club in London, the Salon Privé Ladies' Day was headlined by our favorite supermodel Joie Kidd and Fifth Gear presenter Vicki Butler-Henderson (reportedly the first woman to win a race behind the wheel of a Maserati).
The event included an exclusive fashion preview at Maria Grachvogels Sloane Street store followed by a private viewing of the high-performance S versions of both the GranTurismo and new Quattroporte. Funds raised went towards the Prince's Trust. Check out the images in the gallery and the press release after the jump.

PRESS RELEASE
Maserati at Salon Privé Ladies Day
Maserati GB hosted a very special day for their lady clients last week at London's most exclusive Club: the Hurlingham. Maserati lady clients were joined by supermodel and Maserati ambassador Jodie Kidd and TV presenter Vicki Butler-Henderson (the first woman to ever win a race in a Maserati) as they attended Salon Privé Ladies' Day at the Hurlingham Club.
The day started at Maria Grachvogel's store on Sloane Street, London, where the designer herself hosted a private preview of her stunning AW08 collection, then a fleet of Maserati Quattroportes and GranTurismos were on hand to chauffeur the über elegant ladies to the Hurlingham Club. There the organisers of Salon Privé had put together an amazing selection of modern and classic vehicles: the Maserati GranTurismo S and the new Maserati Quattroporte S took pride of place in the centre of the Supercar Lawn. Several thousand pounds were raised from the raffle and evening auctions in aid of the Prince's Trust.
