Last year the trucker cliental reacted with confusion when Karl Lagerfeld recruited quite a few naked men for the renowned Pirelli calendar shoot, but Mario Sorrenti has taken the firm back to it roots by stripping supermodels in an arty wank-off fashion for 2012.

By gosh, what a surprise to see Kate Moss and Lara Stone naked again - it's been, wow, at least two weeks. However, for some inexplicable reason, Mila Jovovich was allowed to keep her nightie on for her pic - ho hum, we suppose you need to wipe your hands on something when you're changing a type. Especially if you're changing a tyre in the woods. Serial killer alert.

The calendar officially launches in December but it only goes to 'VIP customers' so you better start burning some serious rubber if you want it to grace your wall instead of just looking at the pilferings of the internet. In the meantime, Vanity Fair Italia has the full preview.

It's surprising that the calendar invention is still in existence really - still, at least it gives the Hollyoaks girls something to do.
