David Beckham is the "new global brand ambassador of Maserati," an announcement he made in a new ad directed by Harmony Korine, according to ESQUIRE. The spot highlights Beckham’s "uncanny ability to avoid his myriad responsibilities and tightly packed schedule by doing donuts in a Miami parking lot with his new Maserati SUV, the Levante Trofeo." The Korine-helmed short film is the "'first act' of the partnership between Beckham and Maserati, with much more to come" (ESQUIRE.com, 4/13).
