MPH07 MOTOR SHOW

27.09.2007 Alfa Males Choose Scarlett Johansson for the Dream Drive

Film beauty Scarlett Johansson and the stunning Alfa 8C Competizione supercar have both come top of a poll carried out by the prestige and performance motor show MPH ’07 and the 4Car website, to find the perfect car and passenger of our dreams. The Alfa 8C Competizione quite simply blew its competition out of the water, scooping a remarkable 30% of the vote. Just yesterday Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed that the Spider variant will also be put into production, and is set to arrive on the market in 2009.

Johansson received 23% of the vote and narrowly beat the recently crowned sexiest woman in the world, Jessica Alba (22%), to the passenger seat. Renowned for their unbelievably sexy and curvaceous looks, it seems that the Lost in Translation star and the new Alfa 8C Competizione are a match made in heaven but unfortunately most of us are unlikely to get our hands on either.

It seems that when it comes to the perfect passenger, women truly are on top, with the first five positions being taken by female passengers – third place Jodie Kidd (14%) was followed by Cameron Diaz (13%) and fifth place Eva Longoria (10%). The crown for most popular male passenger was shared by MPH ’07 presenters Jeremy Clarkson (7%) and The Stig (7%), who were the victors over heartthrobs Lewis Hamilton (2%), David Beckham (1%), and Daniel Craig (1%).

Scarlett Johansson received 23% of the vote and narrowly beat the recently crowned sexiest woman in the world, Jessica Alba (22%), to the passenger seat.


The Alfa 8C Competizione's closest rivals included the 253mph Bugatti Veyron (13%), the hardcore Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (9%) and the iconic McLaren F1 (11%). All of which are planned to be on show at this year’s MPH Motor Show at London’s Earls Court and Birmingham’s NEC in November.

Under the control of the troublesome trio – Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May - MPH ’07 promises to be one of the main highlights of any petrol head’s calendar this year, bringing outrageous motoring theatre action together with arena parades and galleries bursting with the fastest and most prestigious cars on the planet.

Created by the producers of Top Gear the MPH Live Motoring Theatre is the most spectacular event in the motoring calendar. With completely new stunts and live -action sequences for 2007, it features 75 minutes of awe-inspiring and gravity-defying acts that push both cars and drivers to their limits. Packed with car chases, crashes, explosions and an amazing line-up of the world's most desirable cars and driven by world class racing and precision drivers. MPH ’07 will run for four days at London’s Earls Court (1 - 4 November), and then at Birmingham NEC (8 – 11 November).
