The votes for this poll were collected from admirers and owners \u2013 known as Alfisti &#8211; who submitted photos of their Alfas to the <a href=\"http:\/\/alfacentenary.co.uk\">alfacentenary.co.uk<\/a> website to create a unique piece of mosaic artwork.<\/p>\n<p>The GTAm and Alfa\u2019s current supercar, the 8C Competizione, led the way against a shortlist of classics including the 2900 B Le Mans, Alfasud and the 156 GTA.<\/p>\n<p>A worthy runner-up with 19.8%, the 8C Competizione debuted as a concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003 and went on to be produced in 2008 as a limited edition model of just 500 examples and selling out almost immediately. The car\u2019s name derives from Alfa\u2019s world famous 8 cylinder (8C) engine and the marque\u2019s racing pedigree.<\/p>\n<p>The Alfa Spider Duetto, widely regarded as a design classic, finished in third place with 16.01% of the vote. This car was first launched in 1966 and famously starred in the legendary film The Graduate in 1967, alongside Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft.<\/p>\n<p>Alfa Romeo UK Brand Communications manager, Damien Dally, says: \u201cThe Giulia GTAm was a great Alfa and a deserved winner. It\u2019s really interesting to see how people voted in the poll. We all have our favourites which is testament to the fantastic cars Alfa Romeo has produced over the past century.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Favorite Alfa Romeo Poll<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>1.
