Well this car to me looks like a mixture of a Mercedes Slr + Ferrari 335 + Mclaren F1.
The pictures and source of this article is -http://seriouswheels.com/top-2001-Mitsuoka-Orochi-Concept.htm

Heres some information-Little known outside of Asia, Mitsuoka Motor Co. is a smaller Japanese car manufacturer that primarily builds retro-looking automobiles that are usually to some extent derivative of well-known classic cars from England. By contrast, the mid-engine Orochi is definitely a bold and original styling statement. There doesn't appear to be much information available on this concept. Early reports were that the first showcars put on display did not run. Though that may have been true, the one picture does show that they did get at least as far as an operable and road-going prototype.

So what do you guys think about this car?
 
Interior: How many cows did they skin?!?! It looks like they took the instrument panel right from the 350Z. Also, the flow of the interior reminds me of the Honda/Acura NSX.

Exterior: From the rear, the car looks sort of angry, but why is the left exhaust pipe offset? The front - :confused:
 
Not a photoshop. I saw it in Autoweek in last year's Tokyo show coverage. It's also in Auto Modellista. I like it.
 
Personally, I think it is very sexy. The HVAC stack is boring, but that is made up for the all leather dash. The exhaust it weird, as already mentioned, but there are a lot of nice curves, not many of them conflicting with other elements of the car. A nice departure form the sharp creases or super smooth aero shapes that dominate the supercar market.
 
It looks like Henry J. Waternoose III, the boss from Monsters, Inc. Fugly.

it's an ugly car meant to strike a tune with "artistic car people" when in fact it does the opposite...First made it's video game debut with Auto Modelista, first made it's forum debut about the same time 1 year ago.........Very very weird car
