My friend was walking through a hotel parking lot and came across this car. It is called the Mitsioka Orochi and it is based off of the NSX.
The Mitsuoka Orochi (光岡大蛇) is a Japanese sports car designed and built by Mitsuoka Motors as a concept car in 2001, with updates and revisions to the design appearing in 2003 and 2005, before finally being put into production and offered for sale in late 2006 as a 2007 model. The car takes its name from the mythical Yamata no Orochi 8-headed Japanese dragon.[1] Mitsuoka says "Orochi is the car to ride to gather attention from everyone", and categorizes this car as a "Fashion-Super Car.
Orochi was originally built in 2001 as a concept car based on the Honda NSX platform for the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show. Mitsuoka then continued to develop the car, unveiling a new version in 2005. This was displayed at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show as the Orochi Nude-Top Roadster.
In October 2006, Mitsuoka officially launched the production version of the Orochi, where it was now powered by the 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 price of around ¥10,500,000 (~$106,600 USD).
Kabuto at the Tokyo Motor Show 2007In September 2007, Mitsuoka launched a special variant of the Orochi, named the Kabuto(兜), which is available at a price of around ¥11,970,000 (~$121,600 USD).
On January 30, 2008, Mitsuoka Motors announced the Orochi Zero (大蛇・零), with production limited to just 20 units; they were delivered to pre-order customers in June. By limiting available options, such as by offering only one colour, they were able to reduce the price to around ¥9,340,000 (~$94,800 USD), or ¥1,160,000 (~$11,800 USD) less than the original Orochi models.
