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. Mitsuoka says "Orochi is the car to ride to gather attention from everyone", and categorizes this car as a "Fashion-Super Car".
In April 2014, Mitsuoka announced that the Orochi is due to de discontinued. It also revealed that in order to celebrate its production run, a Final Edition was unveiled. Only five cars will be produced. This car features two exclusive paint hues, Gold Pearl and a purple hue called 'Fuyoru' by the company. Three cars will be painted in Gold Pearl, with the other two will be painted in Fuyoru. It also features exclusive black-painted alloy wheels that are not found on other Orochis. The vehicle’s appearance only was improved by a new front lip spoiler, a rear wing and an exclusive set of 19-inch aluminum wheels.
The interior also gained new colour-specific trims. Cars painted in Gold Pearl have a centre console with an Ash Grey and Dark Red colour combination, complete with Alcantara-wrapped seats and steering wheel. Fuyoru-coloured cars get an Ash Grey-coloured centre console, with a similar Alcantara seat trim and contrasting purple stitching.
Unfortunately, the engine does not have any power upgrades. It's still the same 3.3-liter, V-6 engine that produces just 233 horsepower and 242 lb-ft of torque.
