Look at the new F450 that is about to come out. These are renderings however all indications look like it will be close to the final product. Honda came out with the HSC +-2003 and 6 years later this is what Ferrari "came up with"! Going to be tough for the Ferrari guys to say Ferrari did not copy Honda on this one.
Ferrari taking styling cues from Honda!!
- Thread starter dxd
- Start date
First time i saw the Automobile Magazine that published that i thought it was the NEW NSX
Then it said ferrari and then i thought 
Then it said ferrari and then i thought 
yep, Honda had a hit on their hands if they would've brought that concept to market.
Well you could say its 1-1 then. :wink:
The next NSX is a used Audi R8....I just hope they depreciate very fast!!!!!
With the low production #s I highly doubt that they are going to drop quickly.
whats up with the wheel gap, i can stick my head in there
You must have a small head! :wink:
Maybe he meant something else.:biggrin:
It's a signature Honda design. This proves the idea came from Honda originally.:biggrin:
lol, we definitely need a picture with the attempt to find this out.
And nothing says nsx better than the 4x4 look from the stock front end of the nsx. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery

When I saw this picture for the first time last month in one of the magazines I thought is was a new NSX and was freaking out .... then I found out it was the new F450 :frown:
It has so many little things that resemble the current NSX's but with more a modern curvy sleek look.
I am sure this is what we (Acura / honda NSX owners) could have expected if there was an new updated NSX released! Not sure what to ever expect now.

Damn...that almost 99% identical. Sorry Honda (missed the boat).
"What comes around....goes around!" FS copying Honda!
Brawn Team is punishing them this year! GREAT! (Sorry Kimi)

It is sleek. How much will they ask for and when will it be in production?
More than most of us can afford. I'd say in the 250K+ range..
funny how you guys can say it was Honda's design without really knowing that for a fact. Maybe Honda copied Ferrari seeing how Ferrari already has the car made and it was only a Honda Concept. 
Just a random rendering. The F450 or F500 will not look like that. There have been several renderings of the new Ferrari.

From Wiki: "The Honda HSC (Honda Sports Concept) is a concept sports car that was initially unveiled at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show.[1][2] Most of the automotive media immediately speculated that it was designed to be a replacement for the Honda NSX, although this was never confirmed by Honda" I highly doubt that Ferrari was designing this car in 2003 seeing how the current F430 came out after that date...

Funny comments! What about this speculation: Honda sold the design to Ferrari after giving up on the HSC finally? Ferrari and Honda would never admit that.
Nice to see who people are 'branded' by the marketing divisions.
If the car would have had a Honda batch on it all would have applaused but the fact is that Ferrari can sell a car like this but Honda can't because they went green.
BTW: Did I buy the NSX because it's a Honda? No, I bought it because it's a 99.9% perfectly engineered car.
Back to the car: Really nice looking Ferrari! Well done! For those loving the design and a lot of Ferrari people DO love design this Ferrari is the way to go! I really admire the shape of it 'cause it damn bloddy sexy not only for a sportscar. Really nice! Would I buy a Ferrari? NO!

So you see no resemblence between these two?
