Earlier this year, Alfa Romeo announced that it would let the public vote — or at least the public living in Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Japan and the UK — for the name of its upcoming 147 replacement car. The contest ended on the 15th and Alfa Romeo has since tallied all votes and just announced the winning name — Furiosa.
12 names in total were up for vote, including Agea, Enos, Everson, Fira, Milo, Mod, Nevo, Solea, Sparvo, Velvetta and Ventura.
The diversion from a numeric naming system is also an indication of things to come from Alfa Romeo . The Italian automaker announced earlier this year that it would make the switch to individual names to give its cars an air of excitement and passion.
The new Furiosa is expected to make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
