About the Mitsuoka Orochi
The Mitsuoka Orochi is one of the most polarizing vehicles ever produced, designed as a 'fashion supercar' that prioritizes visual drama over raw performance. Named after the eight-headed serpent of Japanese mythology, it features a hand-built fiberglass body over a bespoke steel spaceframe chassis. While its mid-engine layout suggests track capability, the Toyota-sourced 3.3-litre V6 and 5-speed automatic transmission are tuned for grand touring comfort. With only 400 units produced, it has transitioned from a curiosity to a highly sought-after collector's item for those who value unique design above all else.
