The Mitsuoka Orochi is a Japanese sports car which takes its name from the mythical Yamata no Orochi 8-headed Japanese dragon.
The Orochi was originally built in 2001 as a concept on a Honda NSX chassis for the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show. Mitsuoka then kept revising the car, showing a new version in 2005 and displayed, at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, the Orochi Nude-Top Roadster.
In October 2006, Mitsuoka officially launched the production version of the Orochi, now powered by a 3.3 litre 230 hp (172 kW) Toyota 3MZ-FE V6 engine. Production will be limited to 400 units over the next four years at a cost of around ¥10,500,000 (around $89,000 USD).
On January 30, 2008, Mitsuoka Motors announced that they will be producing 20 limited Orochi Zero models. They will be a pre-order release, handed to consumers in June. They said limiting stuff such as making the model available in only one colour, the cost will be around ¥9,340,000, which is cheaper than the original Orochi models.
