Interesting article on Petrolicious about a forgotten 80's Ferrari which had a very similar shape to the NSX. I wonder which one preceded the other?

Interesting. Not real handsome compared to the NSX. How many of those would still be on the road had they made them?

That's coincidental...only found out about this car last month when we visited friends near Maranello and took a trip to the museum. The museum exhibit was a cutaway prototype...looked crude, to be honest.

This F-car has a longitudinal engine, unlike the NSX's transverse V6.

I remember seeing an MG prototype from the mid-80's that looked like the pre-production NSX... were they all from the same pen?

It's an engineering mule and not a production car. I'm sure Pininfarina would have made it look better in the final cut.

I remember it being photographed back then.

Nah Nick - that was the greatly underrated Roy Axe.
