During the ceremony, the “Futuristic City Cars Grand Prize” was also assigned by a jury of 17 members and from a car expert.

Thanks to the public’s appreciation and preferences (150.000 voters from all around the world), the McLaren 720S was elected as the most beautiful supercar of the year 2017, beating the other three, equally amazing, finalists: the Aston Martin’s V8 Vantage, the Ferrari’s Portofino and the Porsche Panamera.
