Rx8 Vs. Ferrari 458 Italia
 

So I went out driving early on Friday to get coffee....weather was amazing, and I came across this guy, parked out to do the same!

Thought I would share -
Enjoy,
Wanta.

The curves of that Ferarri make the curves of the RX8 look like a pre-pubescent female.

Cool pics. I think the front of the italia looks a lil funny, the back....a whole nother story.

haha...:rofl:yes she does look a little lumpy in comparison...which is quite funny because if you park next to a BMW X5 or another monstrous 4WD the Rx8 looks like an Italian nonna at a basketball after-party....

I wish i'm rich to own a Ferrari.

His wheels prolly cost as much as the rx8...

mmmmmmmm.... ferrari (homer style)

LOL some people like prepubescent females more than Italian supermodels.
(don't take that the wrong way)

God the 458 is so sexy. That car is, IMO, the best looking car ever made. My pulse quickens every time I look at one.

When talking about cars that's just because they never had a taste of what such italian supermodels can do.

LOLOL how did this thread get hijacked into talking about little girls :suspect:

Yeah, the photos unfortunately don't do the 458 justice - I just wanted to get it beside my 8 to see the difference. its funny that such a low slung car naturally, with some serious curves is just a preschooler compared to the "Italian supermodel" :mdrmed:

I also found the paint interesting, you can see the difference between the orange Red & the rx-8s deeper red in photos, however in real life they are alot closer in comparison...

HAHA, sorry.
Great photos. Both cars look great. 458 is a true masterpiece.

It's crazy how the 458 can make the RX8 looks so tamed and... standard when placed beside it. If you were to see the RX on its own it would steal all the stares, but that shows you just how much is put into that 458. Amazing.

Unlike Italia, at least RX-8 won't just overheat and burst up in flames.

:)

so RX-8, 1, Italia, 0

Anyway, COOL STORY BRO !

sigh that 458 made the 8 look like a hometown hottie instead of a supermodel lol

Lol it looks good compared to normal cars....not much you can put up against a 458

sex on wheels :aroused:

I had similar thoughts watching the Season 15 special of "Top Gear" when they were tracking one. I want one of their t-shirts with a 458 on fire :evil_laug

Haha....yes, I loved that ep.
however the Rx runs so hot sometimes, it feels like it might catch on fire,

I'm certain Ferrari has fixed the issue by now.

There is little shopping center by where I live, in one of the extablishments--an antiques shop--there is always at least 1 italia parked outside. last wednsday there was two of them, one of them had the gunmetal wheels and carbon accents and it looked gorgeous! apparently you can make a killing selling old stuff.

rx8>itailia JUST SAYINNN

Because it doesn't catch fire.

I know I'm digging up an old thread here, but just thought it would be fun to see and share what my car would have looked like in place of the OP, seeing as we can't all find a Ferrari 458 Italia to park next to daily lol, and congrats to the OP for taking the opportunity when he had the chance, I think that's what we all should be doing.
I think the RX8 can hold a candle to the Italia, in the looks department atleast..

While you were at it you should have photoshopped out the chrome wheels, "racing" gas cap and Brian O'Conner's DSM front bumper

You have the OP's one for that, this is a visual example of mine, feel free anyone to put in your own :)

As for the bumper, DSM what? Mines custom

The 458 Italia and Enzo are my favorites. Luckily, Shutterstock had a side-view Enzo photo that I was able to purchase limited usage rights for $19. Under the terms of the agreement, I can use it on websites as long as I do not exceed 800 x 600 pixel size among other stipulations. They both look great side by side. But I am leaning toward the Enzo for looks.
