My Nan says it's the sky, apparently that's what it used to look like! she was off her face on drugs though.

NSX certainly looks dated and generic there, but for me the 458 is a bit fussy at the back.

I still believe the 458 is going to date quickly, and agree it looks fussy from several angles.

MP4 is the natural NSX successor and will enjoy the NSX aging process .... slow!

Yes certainly looks dated, no parking sensors, no LEDs, no rubber band tyres. What a shame.

Agree with both. 458 is the best looking F-car for a while (don't mind the 599 though), but it still suffers from the modern disease of 'over-styling'.

NSX, sorry to say, does look rather old there. Not ageing badly, agreed...but never was and IMHO never will be the prettiest in the class...

The rear of that nsx looks unbalanced with the spoiler but no 02+ valance. Not the best nsx to use as a comparision.

A standard early or standard late model would have been a better comparision.

I actually prefer the rear of the 458 than the front.

Interesting comparison but these car are seperated by 20 years.

The NSX was designed in the late eighties so design was different, better to compare
it to the 348 with similar angles.

I qute like the shape of the 458, especially the front & side, too fussy at the rear.

come to Porsche Hatfield this Sunday and you'll be able to see my black 2005 NSX next to a black 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia

You cannot mix your 1/18 scale diecasts with your 1/24s!

That's why I dislike modern cars.

I cannot believe how big that BMW Mini is compared to the NSX!

Get Gordon Murray designing every day cars PLEASE!
