Ferrari win 2 more awards - 5th February 16:51pm GMT

At the annual readers’ poll 'Best Cars' held by the renowned automotive journal Auto Motor und Sport, even two models of the Ferrari and Maserati brand gained the first place.

The new Ferrari F430 was voted the Best Imported Sports car at first try. World premiere of the new car was celebrated at Paris Motor Show last year. It signals the arrival of a brand new generation of Ferrari 8-cylinder models.

The Maserati Quattroporte – a vehicle with the soul of a representative luxury sedan and a dynamic Gran Tourismo model at the same time – repeated its victory in the Luxury Imported Sedan category. At 32,3 % of readers polled, the car moved sovereignly to the top in front of its competitors Bentley Continental (18,1%) and Rolls Royce Phantom (11,1%) to claim the coveted trophy.

The Auto Motor und Sport poll was held for the 29th time this year with more 108,000 readers taking part. The awards were received at the award ceremony held in Stuttgart yesterday by Amedeo Felisa, Deputy Managing Director Ferrari S.p.A. and Martin Leach, Chief Executive Officer, Maserati S.p.A.
