Japanese Supercar (very impressive)

Once again, i was doing my routine of browsing thru my favorite car sites and stumbled on a new exotic.

s with any auto show, some of the most unique vehicles can be found behind the stanchions of boutique manufacturers. Such is the case with Mitsuoka, a low-volume niche manufacturer that will unveil the Orochi Nude Top concept at this year's Tokyo Motor Show. The Nude Top, or convertible as we Westerners would say, is inspired by the original Orochi mid-engine concept that debuted in 2001. That car was based on the Acura NSX, though it's unknown what vehicle underpins the Nude Top. Not much is known about the Orochi Nude Top concept, except that it will officially be busting out sometime next week

Re: Japanese Supercar (very impressive)

Looks to me like they built the cars and then they put them in a very high temperature oven to melt them.

As ha said Chris Bangle's got to have some input in this one.

That car is disgusting. It's the first exotic that when i saw the pictures, the first thing that came to my mind was "i really hope I don't see one".

Re: Japanese Supercar (very impressive)

the beauty of this car can only be acknowledged once you're standing right next to it. ok the front is weely weely weird, looks like the melted headlamps of c-class merc. However, check out the side detailing. Look at how the door is designed (like a wave). look at the air intakes at the back. its very unique, ive got to give them props. most supercars and exotics are beggining to look like theyre cut out of card boards or sheet metal, their try to focus more on edgy futuristic lines. This flounder is very curvy, which makes it looks weely expensive and posh. IMO

they have to change the grill however, very old school nissan sentra/sunny like.

And it appears that they are doing a front side safety test, a very hands on type of procedure.
