Alfa Romeo 4C Wins 2013 Most Beautiful Car Award

The 2013 Alfa Romeo 4C was presented with the award of most beautiful car of the year during Paris’ Festival de l’automobile.

The jury is composed of Rémi Depoix , the 29-year organizer of the festival and various designers, artists and marketing specialists. After the judges select the finalists, it’s then up to internet users to vote. This year, more than 100,000 people from 52 countries responded to the call. One of the participants will be winning a Fiat worth €30,000.

For a car to qualify for the award, it must have been on the market in the aforementioned current year and cost less than € 55,000.

For the 2013 model year, eight cars were finalists:
Alfa Romeo 4C
BMW 4 Series Coupe
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Lexus IS 300h
Mazda3
Mercedes- Benz CLA Class
Peugeot 308
Renault Captur

The Winner
