Tell us about yourself, Maxime: How old are you?
I’m 21, but I feel older—a lifetime of travelling and a multitude of experiences give me an advantage over some other young people. I’ve lived all over the place and can speak a few languages, so you’ll never get bored with me!

Where are you originally from?
I was born on an island and I’ve lived in Asia, Europe and North America. I’m from the same world as you.

What are your measurements?
I am five-feet-ten—sadly too short for runway—and I wear a comfortable size eight in clothing and shoes.

Are you a dancer?
No, I’m studying at university—mechanical engineering!

What exactly is involved in a mechanical engineering degree?
A lot of maths and physics. I became interested at the age of 15 and basically knew what I was going to do in my professional life. I’d eventually like to get into aeronautics.

Do you like cars?
Don’t even go there! Cars are my specialty. They are things of beauty! Man-made mechanical specimens. I am drawn to the technicalities of it all. If anyone wants to talk about machines, I’m your girl…

Boner alert! What’s your favourite car of all time?
The Lotus Elise. It’s light, has a small engine and boasts lots of speed.

What’s the sexiest automobile ever, in your opinion?
I love the sight of an Audi R8—no matter where I am or who I’m with, this is the car that will steal my attention. It also helps if there is a handsome man under 40 inside of it!

What vehicles do you own?
I have two race cars and a Honda CBR250 bike. I like Japanese cars for flexibility and performance, but European cars for luxury and comfort.

You rock, Maxime!
