The emotive marque allowed users of national websites to choose their favourite name among a shortlist of 12 names. In the end, Furiosa came out on top. It does not mean that the next baby Alfa will get this name. Indeed, according to <em>Autocar<\/em>, one of the company&#8217;s sources said that  \u201cit [Furiosa] doesn\u2019t exactly roll off the tongue, does it?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Alfa Romeo is poised to shake up the supermini market and the tiny Alfa might become its biggest-selling model. Internally known as 955, the three-door supermini is based on the Grande Punto platform. A wide range of engines will be on offer, starting with a 105 bhp 1.4 litre Multiair four with variable valve timing, followed by a selection of 1.4 and 1.8 turbos with 135, 180 and 230 bhp. The &#8216;Furiosa&#8217; will also come with diesel engines, including the 1.2-liter JTDm with 120 or 150 bhp. The Alfa upmarket supermini will be unveiled at the next Geneva Motor Show.<\/p>\n<p>The final list in order of popularity:<\/p>\n<p>1. Furiosa<br \/> 2. Ventura<br \/> 3. Sparvo<br \/> 4.
