Why it matters

The Orochi is a two-door mid-engined coupe from Mitsuoka, a maker known for replicas and niche imports. Mitsuoka presents it as a Japanese-built supercar, and the name comes from a serpent in Japanese mythology.

02Production & history

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

No production figures recorded yet.

History

Mitsuoka first showed the Orochi as a concept at the 2001 Tokyo Auto Show. Car and Driver said its mechanicals were undefined at that stage but praised the styling.

By the time of the cached lineup page, the Orochi was sold as a production car. Its listed engine is the Toyota 3MZ-FE V6, and the page also lists a limited GOLD PREMIUM special edition of 20 units.
