| Re: Auto Express First Drives Mitsuoka Orochi Japan's answer to the Ferrari So it looks like rubbish and has the automatic gear lever out of a Chevy Malibu? I'm wondering if I should even read the article... EDIT: Read the article. So it's a tarted up NSX with Lexus running gear. And a 0 to 60 that my dad's Audi, I believe, can beat. |

| Re: Auto Express First Drives Mitsuoka Orochi Japan's answer to the Ferrari I don't know what to say. It looks horrific, like something out of a giant lizzard's stomach after he has been cut open. A Ferrari rival with a Lexus V6? Dumb arses. M |

| Re: Auto Express First Drives Mitsuoka Orochi Japan's answer to the Ferrari - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER  The Mitsuoka Orochi is a Japanese supercar that first appeared in concept form back in 2001 but managed to enter production that very same year.The original concept was built off a donor Honda NSX chassis and was powered by a similar V6 engine. Since then, Mitsuoka has released two revised models, one in 2003 and another in 2005, and now for the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show it has unveiled another concept version of the Orochi. The latest concept is called the Kabuto and it differs from the original production versions thanks to the new carbon-fiber panels, full bodykit and ominous GT wing. This is the only official image of the Kabuto but there are more images of the standard Orochi in our gallery below. The most recent Orochi features a 3.3L Toyota 3MZ-FE V6 engine with 230hp on tap. Production is limited to just 400 units and there’s no word if a special Kabuto version will eventually be sold. |
