Mitsuoka Motors, a small Japanese carmaker introduced the roadster version of its Orochi sportscar at the Tokyo Motorshow.
The original Orochi prototype was unveiled at the 2001 Tokyo Motorshow, based around Honda NSX mechanics. At the 2003 Tokyo Motorshow an updated version was shown. — Tokyo Show sustainability concepts.
For the 2005 Tokyo Motorshow the concept further evolved with revised styling and the removal of the top. It has been replaced with striking scissor doors. — 40th Tokyo Motor Show.
“The “OROCHI Nude-Top-Roadstar” is a new design proposal that expands the frame of the conventional “OROCHI”. Our design approch is to vividly and directoly appeal to one’s sight, spirit and sensitivity. The “OROCHI Nude-Top-Roadstar” exemplifies how this new approach is taking form. We applied a more open design and gull-wing doors to the previous road-version prototype “OROCHI”. The name “Nude-Top” is well suited for this beautiful and stylish design. We even went so far as to not attach any side mirrors in order to create a daring design that would bring forth this new “OROCHI”. We hope that you will take a close look at this unique design.” — Mitsubishi Concept-RA.
