2009 Pirelli Calendar: Elephants And A Whole Load Of NSFW

It's that time of year again, when Pirelli sends aspiring Playboy photographers out on calendar assignment, letting them dream up ridiculous ways to photograph nude or nearly nude models in exotic locations. What this has to do with the business of selling tires we have no idea. Whatever, nekkid ladies! Hit the jump for a large and VERY NSFW gallery from the 2009 Pirelli Calendar.

'When did they make 2009 a year of 28 months?' you ask. They didn't, but Pirelli, bless their hearts, threw a lot of the images that didn't make the final cut onto their website. The things they do to sell tires. Speaking of which, we were thinking just now about how Pirelli's are a superior tire in every way, and a brand that adds not only performance, but style to automobiles. Wait, what the...? The marketing! It works! Nooooooo! [Pirelli (NSFW)]

A Little More Jalopnik Late-Nite: Vintage Veith-Pirelli Ad

After doing the post about the greatest motorcycle movie ever made and screaming mea culpa about following Davey over to Coop's place for some seriously sloppy seconds, we actually went ahead and peaked at Buddy Scott's VW+VW1500 restoration blog where we discovered this gem. Forerunner to the Pirelli Calendar? Absolutely. 1965 1500S Karmann-Ghia? Oh my, yes. – Jonny Lieberman

No, it's not the new Pirelli calendar... [vw+vw1500.com]

She's How Old? Pirelli Calendar Shots Revealed

Of course you knew Sophia Loren's spread in the 2007 Pirelli calendar wasn't going to be something out of oldladyporn.com — that was just tire-company teasing. As would be expected, Sophia's shots are tasteful (read: above the neck) and fashion-y, as are those from Hiliary Swank, Naomi Watts, Penelope Cruz and model who was born when we were in seventh grade, Lou Doillon. As a matter of fact, the whole calendar's pretty tame compared to past years' nip-slip mania. Damn puritan culture cycles. – Mike Spinelli
