Orochi, the 8-headed Japanese snake
When we speak about sexy and desirable extreme sports cars, we have to admit that legendary brands and manufacturers like Ferrari, Lamborghini and "tutti quanti" immediately pop up in our minds, but we never think of a Japanese manufacturer. Our classic ideas will have to change! A company called Mitsuoka (about which we will speak later) presented a concept-car way back in 2001 that was dubbed Orochi (taken from a snake with 8 heads in the Japanese mythology). When you look closely at this car, you'll understand where that name comes from.

The technical specifications are quite scarce, but we know that the car is powered by a 3.3L V6 engine.

4 years after its first apparition, we regret to inform that this Japanese snake has not made it to mass-production yet, and that the chances of it hitting the market become slimmer every day.
