Alfa Romeo’s competition to find a name for its 147 replacement has come to an end and the winner name is ‘Furiosa’. Earlier in the year Afla bosses decided to drop the numerical naming practice in favor of going with individual names that could generate excitement and passion and nothing represents this better than Furiosa. However, not all markets are expected to use the name.
Out of the 12 possible choices: Agea, Enos, Everson, Fira, Furiosa, Milo, Mod, Nevo, Solea, Sparvo, Velvetta and Ventura; 'Furiosa' is truly the best choice!
I love it ! Good job Alfa Romeo! The future looks very bright for Alfa Romeo. Recently Alfa boss Antonio Baravalle revealed the current numeric naming pattern would be dropped in favor of individual names for each new model and all models except the 'Furiosa'(for cost reasons) will be rear-wheel drive. Alfa Romeos will truly be pure-sport vehicles. I just hope that the round tail lights that feature on the 8C Competizione, will be featured on all Alfa Romeos. Nothing else says 'classic car design' in my opinion than round tail lights ;-)
