The readers of the German magazine Auto Zeitung have once more voted two Ferrari models winners in their respective categories in the 'Auto Trophy' survey.

The Ferrari F430 coupé won first place in the 'Best Imported Supersports Car' category with 14.3 percent of the votes. The Prancing Horse model edged out the Lamborghini Gallardo with 11.2 pct, with the Aston Martin Vanquish in third place. The Maranello berlinetta was presented at the Paris Motor Show last year and is the flagship of a new range of 8-cylinder Ferraris. These all make use of the precious experience made available by the Scuderia Ferrari's Gestione Sportiva.

The F430 Spider took over the crown worn by the 360 Spider in the 'Best Imported Cabriolet' category. The car won 13 pct of the votes, more than the 11.7 pct earned by the Aston Martin DB9 Volante, and the 7.6 pct scored by the Mazda MX5.
 

Other Italian winners included the Maserati Quattroporte in the 'Best Imported Luxury Category' with 34.5 pct of the vote, placing it well ahead of the Bentley Continental Flying Spur and the Lexus LS430. The Alfa 159 (with 19.4 pct of the vote) came top of its segment in the 'Best Imported' category, ahead of the Toyota Avenis and Mazda 6, while the Alfa 147 and Fiat Grande Punto were placed third in their respective categories. Other winners included the Mini, Toyota Yaris, VW Golf, BMW 3-series, Porsche 911 Carrera, Renault Espace, Audi Q7 and Volvo XC 90.

Amedeo Felisa, Ferrari's Vice Direttore Generale, collected both awards at the prize giving ceremony, which was held in Germany on the evening of 22nd November.
