Alfa Romeo’s design has resonated once again with readers of Germany’s renowned car magazine ‘Auto Motor Und Sport’. In this year’s edition of the annual Autonis awards, readers named Alfa Romeo ‘Design Brand of the Year’, while the award for the ‘Large SUV’ category went to the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. In addition, the high performance variant of the SUV, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, recently claimed the title of world’s fastest production SUV, setting a new benchmark lap time at Germany’s legendary Nürburgring. This is the latest achievement in the racing tradition of the Quadrifoglio in over a century of Alfa Romeo history. In edition of the Autonis awards, 16,602 ‘Auto, Motor Und Sport’ readers cast their votes in ten categories; more than half of the votes (50.5 per cent) went to the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, crowning it the winner of the ‘Large SUV’ category. Alfa Romeo also won the ‘Design Brand of the Year’ award for the second year in a row, receiving 27 per cent of the votes.
The new E-Class Cabriolet
25 years after the launch of the first Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet, the latest edition of this winning model promises even more style, comfort, space and intelligence than its predecessors. As the newest member of Mercedes-Benz’s new E-Class family, the four-seat cabriolet, with its classic fabric soft top, combines puristic, sensuous design with long-distance comfort and the latest technology. When the soft top is up, it has a silhouette similar to that of the E-Class Coupé and displays the same expressive proportions. The close ties between the two models are likewise apparent in the pure design, with an emphasis on surfaces with clean lines and sensuous forms. The ‘hot and cool’ design idiom, representing both elegance and intelligence, is what shapes the appearance of the Cabriolet, and informs its unique character – most particularly when the soft top is down.
