Motor Show: Mitsuoka Orochi Nude

Mitsuoka is a tiny Japanese company which makes retro-look rebodied versions of popular production vehicles.

One of its best-sellers is the bizarre Viewt, a supermini with a Jaguar Mk 2-alike front end and Nissan Micra/March underpinnings and powertrain.

Its range-topping model, however, is the Orochi, a super-coupe based on the Honda NSX, and Tokyo this year sees the debut of the Orochi Nude roadster, complete with scissor-opening doors.

We're not sure quite what point it makes, or why it is called the Nude, but it does look rather fun.

Certainly is weird, its bizarre. The front reminds me of a cartoony face.

what a waste for an NXS images/smilies/mad.gif

mike_tseng · November 10th, 2005, 06:11 AM

^ NSX?

i think they just took bits from different car that they liked and just put them all on top of a stripped NSX
SL for the lights, elise for the side, Ferrari F430 for the entire rear of the car...

so? i don't care they use SL headlights, plenty of those, but a perfectly usable NSX chassis is wasted on sth like that. especially since this car is new and the NSX isn't build anymore

Ugh, it's got more dips and scoops than an ice cream shop. Come to think of it, it looks like a half-melted lump of ice cream. images/smilies/thumbdown.gif
