From Jaguars and Sunbeam Tigers to the Mercury Cougar and DeTomaso Pantera, the automotive industry is not without its feline references. But Opel is taking things in a decidedly different direction for its 2017 calendar.
This year, the German automaker’s calendar features the internet sensation that is Grumpy Cat. The house cat from Arizona (actually named Tardar Sauce) is captured in and on a variety of Opels old and new by celebrated photographer Ellen von Unwerth.
Oh, and it also features supermodel Georgia May Jagger, the daughter of Mick Jagger and supermodel Jerry Hall who’s already starred in campaigns for H&M and Thomas Sabo.
Believe it or not, this isn’t the first time that Opel has put a cat at the center of its calendar. Last year the automaker brought in fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld along with his cat Choupette. What it is about GM’s German division and house cats, we may never know, we’re glad they’re keeping it strange over there in Rüsselsheim though.
