    I'd have to go with the NSX-R on this one. Although the 355 would be a thrilling car to take around country roads on a sunday, and the espirit would be a great endurance&performance car. The NSX-R to me looks the part, has a great level of comfort, and that lovely engine in the back to top it all off.

    wow, im surprised that im the few who said esprit
    to me it looks better, rarer,and is just more distinctive
    as for performance, well, they seem pretty equal,

    I choose the Esprit because I own a V8...

    F355 for sure has the most votes...Ferrari sound + Ferrari driving experience...if you have the money to afford all the repairs & services

    NSX-R...great car...very reliable...my complaint would be...too comfortable...

    As for the Esprit V8...it's not the fastest, not the cheapest to maintain...but the car has an unique personality...if you love it you'll love it a lot...the driving experience is very raw, almost like a race car, especially the clutch, definitely not a daily driver...not user friendly at all...BUT if you ever drive one you'll know nothing drives like it...not quite the Ferrari experience but more race car feel...

    BTW...I've seen different road test data on the Esprit V8's on 0-60... the numbers range from 4.1 sec to 4.8 sec...it's definitely the fastest among the 3, especially Lotus de-tuned the engine to 350 hp due to a fragile gearbox...the limitations can easily be removed & you will see a whole lot of difference...

    Without a doubt the Ferrari. The Esprit and NSX are great but is there any denying the F355 is one of the most beautiful cars ever?

    I'm guessing from your pic you'd have the NSX?
